I learned to ride and drive in England ,as you know we drive on the left. So I thought it was just natural to prefer left turns. Not true,I still
can make left turns with way more confedence than right,
Now I want to know how Auzzies feel ?
Before my hand problem ,and after I got my Ninja,I found that right or left made no difference, So ! could it be the bike itself ?
When I jumped on that little ninja,I already knew they were noted for there handling,the more I rode it the more confidence I got ,later I could corner ether way without a problem. I did do alot of practice making right turns on the Ninja,I was thinking of racing it at Portland meadows,a clockwise track. our little local track here in McMinville is also clockwise.And so is the Isle of Man,And Brands Hatch,outside London.
