Don't know why, but I can cook a right corner, but I totally stuff up the lefties all the time.

man I thought I was the only one...I don't mind too much lowsiding in a corner where I'll go off the road but when I'm on the inside a lowside would be extremely ****ty. My luck the first and only time it would happen to me a fully loaded 18 wheeler would be hitting the apex of the turn just as I slide across the double yellow....splat.

i actually push harder on left turns and have a harder time getting down on the right. i cant really tell when riding, but my chicken strips tell a different story.

i look at the road a lot, even though i try to look through turns, im worried about gravel and ****.

My worst habit is NOT RIDING. But spring is around the corner and looking forward to a new season.

RE: Our bad riding habits

Speeding through blind curves is my biggest downfall. I always hit triple digits when I go out so there's another point for me. On the plus side, I like to go through a route to check for gravel and debris in the road before I turn around and get more aggressive. This has saved me from dumping my bike a few times...
