Well, the votes are in! Forty-seven members replied to the question in the July 2009
MotoSafe column, “Left? or Right? Tell MotoSafe” and we find that the majority
of respondents believe they are weaker, less confident and proficient, when
cornering to the right. The numbers? 57% report more trouble cornering to the
right, versus 28% who feel less competent cornering to the left; 15% report
they are equally confident and competent turning and cornering either way. So,
by a raw two-to-one margin, weak-righties outnumber weak-lefties. Let’s see
what we all can learn from this survey, and mostly, from one another. WHY do we
believe we prefer one cornering direction over the opposite?
