Thanks for thinking about the correct answer. Compere to motocycles: I ride motorcycletrials myself and i think the frontbrake on the right side is just because it can not be on the leftside. Why? Most important action on a motorcycle is the feeling for trottle-response, so that must be in youre right hand. Second most important action is feeling of the clutch, but youre righthand is busy so the clutch is on the second best place, the leftside. The only place left to mount the frontbrake is the right side. When you need feeling in your frontbrakehandle, you don't need the feeling fore the trottle bacause its not important at that moment. Only one part of the original question "do you write whit your right hand ore lefthand" is stil open. Best regards Bold on trials

Hello, I am from holland and i have this question, whats the reason that UK bikes have the rearbrake on the left side and continental bakes the rearbrake on the right? I would say youre best hand ( most feely hand) has to be on the rear brake bacause thats the one how needs to handel with the most feeling. Here in the continental countrys, most people are righthanded and write with the right hand. Lefthand writers are exeptional. So it would be an explanation that uk people are mostly lefthanded. Because whe drive on the otherside of the road, it would not mean that the natural feeling in our hands would be different. I coult not drive a car when i was born, so i didn't know then. I hope you give me an answer to my question ore how you think about it because its going on my mind fore a while. It's difficult fore us to buy a bike in the UK with one HS and one diskbrake bacause we can't chance the levers. Sorry fore my bad englisch. Best regards. Bold on trials
