Does the equator affect your comfortablity in which way to turn?

yea fortunately I live along the PCH so I drive down that quite often. And just recently I started making trips up Mullholland HWY. and it is notorious for its turns so that has helped me alot in my riding skills and confidence. And of course, going to the track has raised it more than anything else would.

I feel it's easier to turn left than right because the throttle's on the right grip. I do most of the countersteering by pushing the bar on the inside of the turn (push right, go right...). I feel I can be more accurate and precise with a push than a pull. When turning right, I'm pushing on the throttle twist grip, and that makes it harder to accurately control the throttle.

It's also not close to strong enough to have any appreciable effect on your motorcycle's turning.
I grew up racing motocross, and most mx'ers could corner much faster left than right. We always attributed it to having the brake pedal at your disposal, but this could have been baseless.
