NEW TYRES MAKE ME REALISE THAT I LIKE LEFT HANDERS BETTER
My new tyres are a little different to what I am used to. The front tyre is lower, which is the correct size for the bike and allows more space between front mud guard and the rubber. The previous owner had fitted the wrong size. I had always been a little worried about how tight that gap was, but now it seems ok. The new tyres needed running in and at first it was awkward how quickly the front end dipped into corners, especially in combination with the newly repositioned lower-set gear shift and rear break pedal.
It was dark on my way home and I felt a little vulnerable, getting used to those changes and I paid particular attention to 'running-in' those tyres, which made me realise that I do not enjoy right handers as much as taking a left. When I got home I checked out my rear end and the far left looked 'used', whilst the right was almost untouched. Hmmm...I'll have to make the effort...
Well, I do not like right handers because...
•cars that cross the line can take your head off
•if I slide, I have more space before I hit something...I hope!
•I get scared...but WHY????
I am right handed and right footed. I wonder if that adds any meaning? Anyone? Does it have anything to do with right brain/left brain, creativity vs logic? Is it ALL in the head? Do I finally get to see a shrinK????
