    Many people here have mentioned this same problem of leaning to left of
    seat when riding and I have posted before what I thought contributed to
    this problem, as I noticed in this past thread:
    http://tinyurl.com/kgboy
    Most of the people that have had this issue are older, I believe it is
    caused by long term habits such as carrying your wallet in your right
    pocket and when you sit on it over the years your hip will sit crooked
    (for lack of a better word) this was brought ot my attention a while
    back when I went to a Chiropractor and he showed me how I favored my
    right, like when I stand and put more weight on, and when I sit I lean
    to my right, most things I do I have a habit of favoring my right side.
    So for the last 3-4 weeks I have been making an effort to change this
    and carry my wallet in left pocket, standing with weight on left leg,
    when driving I place a small book under the left side of my [censored] and
    even attempting to sleep on my left side, and NOW, NO MORE LISTING to
    the LEFT when I ride, actually I felt like I was listing to the right
    side on this mornings ride

    How would this apply to women, handbags (shoulder bags/purses) and
    shoulders?

    For woman, i think it would be with handbags and purses, maybe necklaces
    and types of jewlery.

    It seems like it would work, cause many ppl are either dominate with
    one side of there body, always rather use their right hand to hold
    something unsted of the left, lean on this side not the other, so
    training your body to be used to using both sides is great =p

    Good thing i never had to worry about this cause i never leaned to one
    sidewithout wanting to, well except when i was very first learning, but
    the was very quickly corrected

    Give it time. By the time your 40 you can develop all types of bad
    habits🙄

    I've had the same problem, listing to the left and I had the same
    thought that throughout my life I've been strongly right side dominant.
    I've been trying to cure it using unitherapy. That is, I've been
    making a concerted effort to stay out of my 'right-side-comfort-zone'
    and learn to do as many things 'lefty' as I can. I try to mount with
    my left foot back. I'm trying to practice my idling left foot down.
    It seems that my turns were always initiated with a hard jamb down with
    my right foot, regardless of turn direction, so I'm concentrating on
    jambing down hard with my left foot instead. It's still not natural
    but, I'm sticking with my unitherapy program and it's definitely
    helped. I'm riding much straighter and more confidently. When I end
    up in a situation where I need to power out of something with my left
    foot, I can do it more readily and what used to alway end up in a UPD
    now rarely does.

    Hmmm... I never had the listing problem really (until now, trying to
    ride backwards I vere to my right)... but maybe it's 'cause I usually
    have my wallet in my cargo front pockets... Makes sitting in the car
    for hours on end more comfortable (I used to drive a lot) and it makes
    sitting in class for hours on end more comfortable (I sit in class a
    lot). 😄

    Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
    obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
    through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
    its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
    remain.
