Why do you only ever post photos of the left side of your tyre?

Have you thought about why you don't push harder on the right to go right? I had a brainfart here that has got me thinking, since I ride one handed and do all the pushing and pulling on the bar AND throttle control at the same time, it takes a lot of concentration and fine motor control to input a heavy gross motor function (pulling/pushing the bars with arms and body) and at the same time delicately input throttle at the same point of force on the bar.

Anyway, just thinking outloud, simply put, you might just be a little hesitant or subconciously timid on that right handle bar because its your throttle hand. Your thoughts?

Every right turn you ever make while out on a day of riding is blind?? Verm...

Now, aside from track day, again, I'm asking you the same question. Forget the blind curves. What about the ones that aren't? Are your right hander turns still not as developed as your left?

It is easier to blame something else.

yeah... almost all the right handers in the canyons are blind.

im just saying i got more confidence turning right since i can see the path, well mostly anyway. basically, im getting better practice turning left compared to right turns.

and like i said... there's only a minor difference in my chicken strips, right is just a little more.

Verm again TAKE THE BLIND CURVES OUT OF THE EQUATION. Answer that or Mintbread's got you pegged, "Its easier to blame something else".
