I am right handed but prefer left hand bends. It just seems more natural for me. I take right handers just as fast but always feel less confident on them, left handers I don't even think about. Strange really, apart from maybe the fact i counter steer a lot and my right hand/arm is much stronger than my left, so maybe I get more 'feel' with my left, controlling the power in my right is not as easy. There have ben a few times when I have pushed the right bar a little too harshly and dropped a little more than I would have liked. I blame it on weight training and other activities.
