RE: Which turn do you prefer?

I like both I guess, never really thought about it and now that I am I cannot really say one is better than the other

More to the left for me too. I think it might have to do with the left hand drive on my Night Train.
When I owned my sportster which was right hand drive I favored right hand turns.
Anybody else notice this, or is it just me?

Turning left is more comfortable to me than turning right.

Left. I thought it was just me. I am right handed.

Left feels better because you can see into the turn much better. Going right is not as fun because you don't know whats coming at you. The bike doesn't care.[8D]

If your right handed, left turn will be easier. When turning right, the brain wants to protect the right hemisphere.

Left turn Clyde! Man, I have thought about this over and over again while in the twisties and I said to myself, I won't ever repeat this to anyone they will think that I am nuts. Ha, see your all nuts too. Welcome. Maybe we like left so much because it's opposite throttle side?? Just a thought. Tim
