Had surgery on my right wrist today.  Get to spend the next three weeks in a cast before review.
That's right, the throttle hand won't work.  :x  :(
Oh, well, at least this should fix it for a while.

swap your throttle over to your left hand.  like a indian.

Not saying they're all this way, but the bike I rode around a parking lot in India (a TVS Fiero F2) had the throttle on the right.  There was something weird about the shift lever (UP and DOWN were reversed or something) but otherwise it was very familiar.

OK, except for the chain shroud ... and the sari guard ... and the single cylinder ... and...  ;)




Happy Healing Michael!  :thumb:

What was I supposed to do - go back inside and grab a random one off the shelf?   What if it wasn't DOT/Snell certified?  :lol:

Or did you mean the indian from Little Big Man that does everything backwards?

Many of the ancients believe that Jake D was made of solid stone.

I was thinking more like one of these.

Ja, that's what I thought you meant.... I have no idea what's lower on my list of bikes to own, a Harley or an Indian.

Sari guard?  I like it.  Can you get saris with CE armor?  :)

Kerry

Oh ... THAT kind of Indian!  :oops:

It's quite a trip to see them in use.  I got a kick out of the integrated footrest.  Clever!
