Heck I remember when you weren't even sure which side you shifted on. Sometimes it was on the right, sometimes on the left.

Roger that. I learned to ride on a right-side shifted Sportster. Apparently HD built them for flat-track racing. Switching to a Yamaha as my second bike damn near killed both if us.

My first Sportster a 59 shifted on the right, my second Sportster, a 94, shifted on the left. My BSA Rocket 3 shifted on the right..my Aermachhi M 50 shifted in the left grip. Some of my early Harley's used a left foot clutch and a shifter on the left side of the fuel tank. All of my Japanese bikes shifted on the left except the majesty 400 which is a CVT and then both levers on the bars are brakes. Sometimes over the years I have felt like a marionette.lol
