Now that there are finally a couple of parking lots here that have been cleared of gravel and sand, I've been out doing a little PLP on the wing and have really noticed that I'm finding slow sharp left turns quite a bit easier than turning right. I don't get it. I'm right handed, but can't figure out why that would have any bearing on it.
Anyone else notice this?
I haven't quite gotten to where I'm scraping the pegs but I'm getting close. I have the Ride Like a Pro DVD but haven't watched it since last year and don't remember them mentioning turning one way being easier than the other. I'll have to put it on and watch it again.
One thing that crossed my mind is that with the bike leaned way over to the right, the throttle arm is more bent - maybe a little cramped? Maybe that gives me the uneasy feeling (?) - I don't know. Or maybe that the clutch arm is more extended when leaned right?
Anyway, I just find it odd why one way would be so much more difficult for me than the other and thought I'd see if any of you fine folks had any thoughts on it.
