Default Random thinking while stuck in traffic today

So I was sitting in traffic thinking about it today, but its actually kind of a good question. Now on everybike I have ever seen the throttle is on the right side of the bike and you have to use your right hand. Now how did people on here who are left handed adjust to that and did it give you any problems when you first started riding?

And another question is, why do they put it on the right side of the bike and not take into consideration the left handed riders out there.

i don't ride bikes but i drive cars, so in other words would u drive a car when the left pedal was the gas and the right pedal being the clutch? i'm not saying the bikes and cars sre the same but i'm pretty sure that some principals applies to both.

Ride a bike and then talk to me genious. Feet are a little different than hands considering that you dont really have a dominant foot like you do with your hands.

I really dont even understand why people who dont ride venture over to BT to get involved with thing that we are talking about that take actual riding experience to understand what im saying.

actually..... People can be right footed or left footed.


Which pant leg do you put on first? Which leg is easier to balance with? Which leg can you tap out a drum beat to? for me its the right leg, and i had to get accustomed to using my left foot for shifting instead of my right.

Besides, i never touch the rear brake anyhow, so it sort of just...goes along for the ride.

just another one of those questions that nobody will ever answer

damn son i think its time to change the tampon u asked a question and i answered, andeven let u kno but it was just an opinion. i thought it would be cool to mingle all around TR.
and just for reference people do tend to have a dominant foot while walking and working and what nots.
