He should have just thrown the bike down on the right too and been 'stylish'!!

LOL, I'm not sure I could ever get used to those bars.

I had the right side nuts lever on my 71 Triumph. Whenever I got on it, I would pull in the clutch and tap the left side brake lever down in an attempt to put the bike in gear! Thankfully, it was only when I first threw my leg over it and not once I was out on the road. Once moving I was fine and it felt natural with surprises me because I was still riding motocross regularly at the time.

It's amazing what we do to motorcycles in the name of style or customizing that compromises street rideability and safety.

The changes I don't understand the most are removing lights or replacing them with little tiny lights of dubious brightness. I generally want a big 'ol tailights and turn signal with as big a reflectors and lenses as I can.

I can forgive some modifications if the bike is strictly an art piece.

In my younger days, I had a Ducati Scrambler and a BSA 441 with right hand shift. The Ducati was not only right-hand shift, but the pattern was 1-up 3-down.

I didn't have any problem switching between the Ducati and my brother's Honda, but I do remember my dad pulling out of the driveway on my Ducati and then locking up the rear wheel during a 1 to 2 shift. He remembered the shifting pattern, but forgot which foot to use.
