Never Seen This Before!

Apparently the side stand is on the left to suit right handed people who are the majority, otherwise they would be on the left for left drive countries & the right for all those that have it wrong!

 

Yes mate, that was what I was getting at, but it seems universally the stand goes on the left.

As an experiment try getting on your bike from the right, I'll bet it feels more than a little weird , even if you are a leftie (handed that is, not suggesting you are Jeremy Corbin!)

 

Motocops in the states mount and dismount from the right side for safety reasons. It is the non-traffic side when they have someone pulled over.

 

Notice the GS logo is also backwards? Someone is a proper plonka!!

 

I noticed that "riders for health" bikes in The Gambia have a prop stand on both sides.

 

Having ridden horses growing up and always mounting from the left and same with riding bicycles, I can't imagine it feeling anything close to right or normal to get on from the righthand side. I'll just park further off the highway or be well on my guard if an emergency arises!

 

What he said. Cops are often injured and sometimes killed exiting their vehicles. Happens a lot here in Florida where the unofficial freeway speed limit is 85 m.p.h.

 

That was my first thought, it’s a mirror image.
