if your thinking about writing anything about gettting lhd, remeber generaly you need to buy that. and why is it so dumb? elaborate

I myself think ahead before I purchase parts for my bike. Why pay for something that doesnt suit your needs? And even if you did need lhd but you only had rhd. It's not hard to sell bike parts.
thank you for reinforceing my point Facepalm


Im not losing money though... so why would I be a t a fincail disadvantage to those who ride left foot forward? We are on an equal playing feild.

for example, if you buy a stock bike, a good 95% of them come rhd as stock, and the ones that come lhd as stock tend to be more expensive, anyway companys tend to sell less lhd stuff it tends and/as to be more expensive

I guess to this kid its not an inconvience to buy a bike and have to tear apart its drive train and sell it.... i guess he probably likes waiting for a sale to go throughlol and buy all new stuff and not ride a bike for a while instead of buying a bike that is a majoriy rhd and ride it instantly. I guess he also likes the limited option parts for lhd.

I'm left foot forward.
It's weird; I'm left handed, right foot dominant, play bass right handed, play guitar right or left, shoot left in hockey(that's mainly just preference so I have my stronger eye on the person coming at me, not on the puck), shoot a gun left handed, right eye dominant(makes shooting a bitch at times), and can't use left handed scissors to save my life.
Stupid body/brain I guess...

Of asking what foot people ride with in front? My guess would be curiosity. I know I wonder stuff like this once in a while.

Nah man, I mean is there an advantage in one way or another? I think I use both, depending on what I'm doing.

Oh. There's nothing better, it's just about what feels more natural/better. If you can use either without an issue, you're lucky.

being goofy footed is a bit of a pain in the arse for running pegs if youve got big feet but nothing apart from that.

The same can be said for someone regular who runs pegs on the other side.
