Help, I ride off-center

[O.C.F.RIDER]

How on earth can someone named "michaelsavage" lean LEFT?
Weird.

[michelsavage]

My name is Michel (French), not Michael. And, I lean left left, far left. Ex professor of Humanities, convinced hippie, cannabis adept, bass player, writer and novelist, and, finally, full time sailor for 14 years. Completely anti-clerical, I beleive in the politics of stars and galaxies, oceans and beaches. My gilrfriend is Thai. I love Obama. I chose freedom over money, a long time ago.

May I assure you that Michael Savage, and moi-même - Michel Savage, are not related in any way. Peace.

Good joke though!!!

Ride anti-clockwise.

As the Brits would put it, try "dressing" on the other side.

In Burberry's, London, I was buying a very expensive pair of wool trousers:

"Which side do you dress on, Sir, right or the left?"

"Excuse me, I'm not sure I understand?"

The tailor, more through gesture than anything (no contact!) was asking what side my Bad Thing liked to ride on!

"Just make the knees extra baggy, thanks!"

In much of SE Asia females on motorcycles sit sidesaddle.




In the western world this practice has been uncommon for more than 75 years (or so).


Indonesia city to ban women 'straddling motorbikes'

A city in the Indonesian province of Aceh which follows Sharia has ordered female passengers not to straddle motorbikes behind male drivers.
Suaidi Yahya, mayor of Lhokseumawe, says it aims to save people's "morals and behaviours".

Aceh is the only Indonesian province that follows Sharia.
Under the new regulation, the mayor says that women passengers are only allowed to sit "side-saddle" because straddling the bike seat violates Islamic values.

"When you see a woman straddle, she looks like a man. But if she sits side-saddle, she looks like a woman," Suaidi said.
