Arrow The Bad Side - Lefts Or Rights?

Do you have unidirectional turning phobia?

This article and some practice could help you:

http://forums.superbikeschool.com/in...?showtopic=111

"Diagnosis

Look for one or more of these indications on your "bad" side:

1. The body is stiff or tense while making turns on the side you don't like, at least more so than on the side you do like.
2. You don't allow your body to go with the bike's lean on side: You are fighting it and it is fighting you.
3. The effort to remain perfectly vertical is greater on your bad side.
4. You will find yourself being less aggressive with the turning process on your bad side.
5. You will find yourself being shortsighted, looking too close to the bike on that shy side.
6. You will find yourself making more steering corrections by trying to "dip" the bike into turns or pressing and releasing the bars several times in each turn.
7. You will notice a tendency to stiff arm the steering.
8. You will notice you are trying to steer the bike with your shoulders rather than you arms.

You might find more symptoms but one or more of the above will be present on your bad side." - Keith Code

Phobia no, but I seem to have a couple of mm difference in the chicken strips, left is bigger by about 3mm, but it's still pretty close to the edge on both.

Over here cut a left too tight & you're in the ditch, right & you have the other lane (hopefully) free to play with, that may be the reason.

Got about 3 paragraphs in before he mentioned some bullshit from the cult he believes in, pity he did that, I closed the tab once I saw it.

I am definitely more confident with right hand turns. I always figured it has something to do with being right handed.

I can turn as fast going left, but I have to focus more than with the right handers.

If you refer to this.......

"In the technology of the mind and according to the discipline of Dianetics, these incidents are stored in what is called the Reactive Mind, for the obvious reason that one finds himself reacting to, rather than being coactive with, some circumstance."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianetics

"Dianetics is a set of ideas and practices regarding the metaphysical relationship between the mind and body..........that divides the mind into three parts: the conscious "analytical mind," the subconscious "reactive mind", and the somatic mind."

Man, you missed the best part of the article !!!
