Those were the days my friend.

Fourteen years ago not long before we left for England. Took the bike with me. Had some nice rides through the English countryside. Our son was riding next to me and took this photo. Sold the bike England.

How did you like driving on the wrong side of the road?

 

[Professor David]

Nice bike!

How did you like driving on the wrong side of the road?

It was easy; I had a RHD bike.

Is that the one where the throttle is on the left handlebar and the clutch is on the right?

This is the first I’ve heard of a clutch.

That bike is too new for that.

AFAIK, the entire world changed that in 1974 to make all motorcycles standard, regardless of where made.

I have ridden the old British bikes. It was very difficult for me. But some people can switch back and forth easily. My brain won't allow that--for whatever reason. And is very dangerous for me to try.

And the old rear brake pedal was on the left.

But these days, I rarely touch the brakes. EVs have little use for them, including motorcycles when the regen is set high.

I miss my motorcycle days too. That was a long time ago for me.

Did you have to crate the bike to ship it over?

if I get too old to ride my antique motorcycle or they do away with all oil products I'll by putting my bike on a pedestal out in the garage. I hope I can keep riding to 85yrs if I make it that far.

The government shipped it as part of household goods. But yes, it was crated. I sold it in England and got pretty much what I paid for it.
