also if thats official why they posting all the races this year? nvr done it before
That is the official channel. They are posting the races which is nice, but they're posting them 1-2 weeks after they air which isn't ideal.
Early seventies, everybody went left side shifter.
Before that, right side shift on a bike from Europe was not uncommon.
Triumph, BSA shifted right side also.
Bultaco Astros had the shifting shaft go all the way thru the cases, you could set it up either way, which was cool
for dirttrack
Some, it messed with, but the phrase "shift left, shift right, it don't matter" kinda denoted you weren't a crybaby.
Here's a quick quiz, only an old f### like me will know.
What major brand had the throttle on the left, thru most of the 1900s?
Pit Row
WW2, the Indian was preferred by more than a few soldiers, even tho there were a lot more Harley's sent over there.
The Indian, a right hand guy could still shoot a pistol while on the gas
Only other left had throttle, I know of anyway, were the Harley Police service cars/trikes.
Made for writing parking tickets easier.

I did hear that comment during the broadcast and had to do a double take. It was funny but a honest mistake.
Obviously, Emig knows which side the shifter is on. So, it actually made me shift through a few gears on my couch to check my sanity.
Nothing but respect for Fro, feel bad for him because that had to be super embarrassing for him. Must be difficult and confusing trying to call the race live from the booth.
Dungey ran a hand-shifter a few years back...
I rode a Bultaco a year or so ago and almost killed myself. I have no idea how my brain kept it figured out back then. Other than my brain was younger and pliable then.
As for Jeffros mix up on the broadcast. He gets a "get out of jail" card from me. Non-perfection in a nitch market broadcast about dirt bike riders is not and never will be the end of the world.
Post a reply to: Do all the new factory bikes have the shifter on the right?..
