It all dates back to when brave knights were horsemen and warriors, often at the same time. They would hold swords, maces or jousting sticks in their right hands, and would pass their opponents on their left side, allowing for some brutal swinging, stabbing, twatting, or skewering.
We kept this was as it is 'correct' and in case jousting ever becomes popular again.
Mmm. I would have joined forces with you but for the historical explanation.
I suspect jousting on horses may well be a thing of the past. Is the motorbike the horse of the present. In which case, mate, we may be rooted as you could hold a lance in your left hand and work the throttle with your right. Under those circumstances—unless you saw Red Mist hurtling towards you—it would make more sense to ride on the right.
