austini Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Are the best riders left or right handed? Out of the top ten world finishers last year how many were lefties? If your an orthadox right hander does this give you a more refined throttle control or does it go against you by having a more jerky throttle action? Does a southpaw leftie suffer from cramp in the clutch fingers as much as a rightie? And while were on the subject do righties have more or less rear brake control? I'd say once you get over the initial, how to ride a bike stage your brain compensates for the reletive strengths and weaknesses of the limbs, (some brains obviously adapt a lot better than others!!)

essex rider Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 im left handed an the clutch is always easy to control as well as the throttle I think once you get used to riding it doesnt matter but this is just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwtajimbo Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 being left handed, your brain works differently, functioning from the opposite side of right handers. Could possibly attribute to the difference also. I am fully left handed,(I don't do anything right handed), and I don't think right or left effects bike controls at all. I still get arm pump are hard testy sections just like everybody else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
