I have crashed more times on the left than on the right.

Does that make me a semi-omniturner???

My left side makes the girlies go

I hope you never do. I hit hard when I did. If not for ATGATT there wouldve been broken bones. Luckily I got out with a sprained wrist and bruised ribs.

Always been on the right side for me.

Thankfully the bike came with left side damage. I just tell myself I was making matching "speed lines" on the right side lol.
