It seems I favor the right side.... Do you?

 

i scape the right more but i'm left handed .

 

Most street riders favor their right side because it's the turn you make most often, i.e. highway on-ramps.

I happen to favor my left because my favorite turns at the tracks I used to frequent were lefts, and now my back yard minibike track is mostly lefts.

 

I think it has to do with the law of averages. We are all just as adept for turning left or right, but in North America we drive on the right hand side of the road, so more often you have to slow or even stop for oncoming traffic to turn left where as on the right you just come barreling up and hang right... feel me? Basically saying the same as nahtanw.

 

Probably a combination of me feeling more comfortable on my "right side," as well as turning right more often, often with more speed, and thus more lean.

 

High speed left turns....always drag that passenger peg mount. I try NOT do to that on right turns...as pipes are expensive , but occasionally, I will get it down that far.

 

Having big skis, I actually tend to drag my heel before I feel in on the pegs. First couple months of riding my fat Bob it scared the )$(%&* out of me a few times.

 

At least with my new exhaust, I'm not dragging the exhaust now.

 

A good theory...except we here drive on the correct side of the road and I've always scraped the right peg much more than the left.

 

Have to take it easy on the right hand turns, first thing to scrape is the bottom of my heat shield, already had to replace it once.
