Looking at the rear tyre i have about 5mm on the right hand side and about 15-20mm on the left hand side. It sucks because we have no twisty roads here and the only corners long enough to lean ( dramaticaly ) on are intersections with roundabouts on them, and these only turn right.
Any corner that does have a decent radius is spoiled by the typically crap (potholed, cracked ) condition of the N.S.W roads. Well N.S.W Roads west of the mountains that is.

Actually mine are like that too.  We drive on the right here so my chicken strips are smaller on the left.  So when turning left, there is a larger radius and you have time to set up for a nice lean.  Not that I'm draggin knees thru intersections but it gives you more practise on that side.  Then when you find a nice curve, you are more comfortable on the left.

I just went on a 240 mile ride on my new Sport Demons to do a proper scrub-in on them.

I killed my chicken strips. I'm happy. :)
