I'd just like to know..........
« on: July 10, 2009, 11:16:57 AM »
How many Beemer riders are lefties - The reason I ask is that all the guys in my village who ride BMW R 25's, 26's & 27's are all left-handed. 4 of them!( used to be 5 until I got my R 65)

Please explain how that after you got your R65 the number of Beemer riders decreased by one.  Did you beat up one of the other Beemer riders and take the R65 away from him?  :-?

Sounds like a "sinister" plot to me.

He probably traded his R25/26/27 for his R65... boys, boys,  read more carefully.   :P

Ya'll are just lookin' for trouble, right?   ::)

Well, technically I am right handed, but I've discovered when it comes to eating and drinking, I can use either hand with equal alacrity!

The mind boggles as to what you may actually use this information for....are you going to be writing another disseratation about bikes?

And I'm with Justin - I'm still a little mystified about the fact that having bought the R65, the number of left handed BMW riders decreased by one - but then again, Math was never my strong suit. Oh yeah Aida - I guess that makes sense - I seem to remember bb had one of those bikes - but again - I'm with Justin.....

Fotunately I'm only an engineer.  ::)



















Only joking....

He specifically mentioned BMW R 25's, 26's & 27's - not BMW riders in general.  So if he had an R25 as one of the 5 riders of those specific BMWs, and he traded it for an R65, then there would be 4 riders of the R2x series and 1 rider of the R65...still 5 BMW riders, but not 5 'guys in my village who ride BMW R 25's, 26's & 27's'.     ::)

Geesh....you'd think an engineer would catch that...  ;)

Yes, I agree with Justin as well...can you ever have too many?

I am right handed but left footed.  Does that mean I am weird?

I the Gene therapists get their way, I should have been shot at birth...or before even.
