    Thanks guys - stuff to think about. Wasn't sure if others found it easier to do one side verses the other.

    Re: Right hand corners- knee drag?

    I'm sorry, I forgot to address the original question

    If I took time to think about it, I'm slightly less comfortable in lefts than rights. My best guess is because I'm leaning away from my throttle hand so it feels like it's "way over there" on the other side of the bike vs being right next to my face. The difference though isn't noticable as I'm riding, right handers are a small fraction more comfortable. Come to think of it, all the tracks I've ridden are all right handers, so I've had much more practice on that side.

    I actually got my left knee down first. But at the end of that track day, I was touching both knees in a few different corners. I guess that goes to show that it was more important for me to get all other factors correct rather than wanting to just touch the ground in the easiest corner.
