Are the controls on a non-US bike switched? Like the controls on a non-US car are on the right side?

I'm pretty sure it has been standardized and all the bikes have the controls in the same place. The bike I rode in the Philippines has the controls right where the controls are on my bike here in the states. In the PI they drive on the right side of the road too.

Shorts- I'd be interested to know what you think of More Proficient Motorcycling, whether it's worth buying on top of the original book. I've got the original (great book BTW), but not the second.

I like that. Right now I've got my bike tucked into the back corner of our carport. Depending on where we are next year, I might look into getting something like that. If I hadn't just laid down money on a Bushmaster I'd probably be looking at those this year. How sturdy is it? Do you think it will stand up to high winds?

It should be ok *crosses fingers* so long as I have it secured to the floor. The structure overall seems sturdy. I'm not completely sold on it yet, I wanted to build a full shed. But, time and Old Man Winter will tell :lol:

Actually, reading the testimonials on the Bike Barn site has lead us to believe its up to the task. Of course, reading the dimensions on the website did little good! :shock:
