[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 113231, member: 60"] Best one is my 28 Scott, gear lever on Right (hand) ,Front brake on Right,rear brake on right, throttle on right luckily the clutch stops the left hand falling asleep but the left foot is redundant. Hardest is my 1925 going on 1914 Douglas, no clutch:oops:!,hand gear change (top neutral bottom),advance and retard, valve lifter, choke lever, throttle lever, valve lifter, front brake (dont touch!):eek:, foot rear brake (mahogany wood in belt rim), and of course oil pump pump , drip control and sight glass. With the exception of the front brake all those controls are in constant use (including valve lifter) on any journey involving corners or junctions. I do have time to occasionally glance at the road and thankfully there is no speedometer to distract me. It certainly takes more concentration to do 10 miles than 20 laps of Cadwell on the Flash:(.
