Lefty or righty?

Just curious really, is there a 50/50 split of left handed people and right handed people.

Also if you're left handed how do you find using a throttle?

John, you missed out the ambidextrous catagory, I am mainly right handed but used to be able to write with either hand. Can't write with either now of course since all we do nowadays is type.................

Left handed.

No problems using the throttle and front brake.

Like right hand corners better.

Prefer driving manual cars in Britain, rather than Europe, because I can change gears with my left hand.

Write, throw, bowl, bat, cut, stir, **** all with my left hand.

Usually on the right hand handlebar..........

No, sorry, it's second nature.
It's just like me asking how do you use a clutch as a right hander?
Both require an amount of finesse to use effectively.

The corner thing I think is more down to view into the bend than being r or l handed... when I'm on the Continent I prefer left handers....
