Default Right Turns of Left Turns

So a couple of buddies and I went a couple hundred miles today (round trip), and on a break, they said we should get some pictures on this 25mph right handed turn. They said, "because we all prefer right hand turns" that would be a good corner for some pics. I disagreed and told them I prefer lefties...they thought I was wierd. It got me to wondering, so I am posting the question. Which do you prefer...?

Honestly, I am a left turn guy as well. I dont knowwhy I just feel a little more comfortable that direction. On the track, I feel my knee have a little more pressure than the rightm not sure what irt is though,

I started being a right hand turner but worked hard to get the left handers down. So now neither of them make a difference.

Voodoo, your new siggy gives me nightmares. I was hoping this would come up. I'm not as comfortable going into a left as I am a right. I'm sure this thread will end up offering some good pionters. And with a track day coming up I could use some.

Sorry, EPi (worship the devil[sm=badbadbad.gif])...that last part was subliminal [sm=icon_rofl.gif]. I guess I can't understand your comfort level in a right hander just as much as you can't understand my comfort in a left hander. How far do you have to go for your track day and when is it? I think you are a lucky dog! I am getting about an87 degree turnon my lefties just in case anyone was wondering...[&:].

I started out more comfortable in left turns but a year of riding at Barber beat that out of me, now I'm more comfortable in right turns
