Some of the motorcycles that Sears sold under the Allstate name in the 1960's (re-badged eastern European manufacture. Puch?) were like that too. High school buddy of mine had one his dad picked up somewhere, that we'd ride around the pasture. Required some mental concentration, especially if we had just arrived at his house on a japanese product of the time (early/mid 1970's). Sometimes 'muscle memory' is NOT a good thing.srothstein wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 9:13 pm I am surprised no one mentioned old motorcycles though. Before 68, British bikes had the shifter and brake on opposite sides from American bikes. This also reversed the shift pattern from down to get first and then up for the rest to up to get first and down to upshift.
