While he might not have figured that out, he certainly knows not to take advice from Dave "always
wrong" Wussyass, because banging your head against the wall is so much more productive.

He arachnoid, don't you think the advice is sound given what Pete lead this thread into.

LOL! He knows a hell of a lot about URTs, considering his bike is one...

Oh, nevermind, I forgot you're a dumbass...

Considering the amount of useful information you have given to this thread, I'll just chalk it up to
more WussyAss irony.

Sorry, my mistake.

This should be your sig line. It's about the only thing you've ever written that even makes a little
bit of sense, or is even relevant, for that matter.

If they were on the other side bikes would fall over because of the way the world spins.

Thats why bikes sold in the southern hemisphere have everything mounted on the left side.

They wouldn't work very well on the wrong hand side, now would they?

This dude has them on the left:

My shot is that most people are right handed and, to a certain extent, right footed (e.g. which
foot do you prefer to kich a ball with?), so when the choice had to be made, the right side
seemed obvious.
