No preference. I can see better through left handers. But I'm equally slow and comfortable through either.

I do much better on right turns. I still get spooked on left turns when a car or motorcycle appears to be coming at me around a blind left corner. I guess I flinch or let up a little when I'm leaning left, and it messes up my line.

I think I'm equal at both. Some days I suck on the left and other days it is the right so it evens out. The one time I drug my knee was on a right hander. Ironic part was that it was my hardest turn to get through smoothly. I worked and worked on entrance, etc, guess it paid off.

makes me wonder how many of us are right or left handed?

I'm a converted from left hander to right, I actually can do everything with either hand.

I kind of wondered this too. Maybe that is why I don't favor one over the other since my hands are fairly equal?
