all the left handers i have my left buttcheek off the seat, arms loose(mostly, still workin on it), helmet in line with the mirror. feels right, comfy. when i go right i seem to push the bike down with my arms and get off the seat less, and the mirror would be way to the right of the helmet. feels weird, but not sure how to correct it. when i force myself to do it the way i think it should be done, it feels even more awkward. just a practice thing, or maybe im just not a ambi-turner? i cant go right lol

im gonna be goin every week, and eventually get some footage so i/u rider types can critique. just tryin to be smooth and correct, fuck going fast, for now atleast
supposed to be a normal thing, typically i'll notice a very slight (1mm) preference for my right side on my back tire. dunno if its me or simply the road construction around this place.

def interesting reading, between you guys and mr code im def getting better at hustling the blade through corners. just getting hard finding decent ones lol


oh, ive got a question: given the same corner and the same lean angle a 180 is gonna have less strip than a 190 right? or am i offbase here?
