Yes going very slow you would turn left to go left, but that's ONLY when going VERY slow.   In reality though, you do the left=right thing without ever thinking about it, And when you tell an experienced rider about it for the first time, its likley he wont believe you till the next time they ride their motorcycle.... Its when you REALIZE you are doing it and do it on purpose that you can go from a good rider to a great rider...
