Sinister banking
 

I am right handed, but judging by my chicken strips, I bank the bike over more on left handers.

Is this common and do lefties lean more on right handers. :?:

Had to go and check :D

Pete is a leftie, but I'd say that what chicken strips we have are pretty much identical both sides.

I do, but for me anyway it's not because of handedness - it's to do with the throttle.

When countersteering I naturally push on the inner bar rather than pull on the outer bar as some seem to. This means I'm slightly less inclined to push as much on the throttle itself = less countersteering = larger chicken strip on the right.


I guess it shows I have more concern for fine throttle control that I have fear for my wonky knee, and that's the left one that I seem to be quite happy to bank towards! :shock:
Hey, its been broken before it's had the practise, I'd rather keep the right one pristine for comparison's sake!

Funny I always feel I can corner better going around a left hander.
Can just get my toe down on the left hand but don't know how far away I am on the right.
Had the shorter dog bones fitted and that jacked the back up 2 inches.... well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it. :wink:

Surely, it's the roads you ride. I'm right-handed but I am more confident leaning in familiar constant radius turnings (roundabouts), so I wear down the right loads more. If I went to France I'll prob wear the left more.

Yup. Right handed and find left turns easier. I've definitely got thinner chicken strips on the left.

When I saw the title I though this thread was about dodgy banks :lol: :lol:

Me too, i can never feel completely comfortable on a right hander, and i cant figure out why!

That bieng said, the right hand side of my tyre has bigger strips, so theres the proof

The camber is in your favour on a leftie, against you on a right.

Excellent explanation. I thought the reason for my larger RHS chicken strip was my caution at roundabouts these days.
