I hope everyone realizes that Wikipedia is edited by anyone with a computer. From what I have seen on the 'Net, most people wouldn't know their name if it wasn't on their driver's license. I like the 2 horses *** width theory of railroad guage, myself.
By the way, I vote for the tradition of getting on a horse from the left anyway.
BTW, anyone else ever notice the similarities of cowboys and bikers beside me? Both wear leather, especially chaps. Both have distinctive head gear - cowboy hats vs. do-rags and/or helmets. Most bikers wear leather vests. And bikers generally refer to their bikes as iron horses. And best of all, we like the freedom to enjoy the great outdoors.

RE: Jiffy Stand ?
because the left wingers designed it? or maybe it is something to do with the gravitational pull and the movement of the magnetic north pole affecting a Milwaukee vibrator? Seems like i read this in some scientific journal.

I saw some LEO's dismount from the left side (a whole group) so I asked them about it. They were training some newbies and said that they have never been told specifically what side to mount. The main guy that spoke to me said it all depends on the situation.

The other day I was at sea, my pal and I were taking a leak over the side. He commented on how cold the water was. I was more bothered by the sandy sea bed.

A higher percentage of the population is right handed, therefore, much more awesome and mocos catered to this. [:-]
Since the right handers use their dominate side for stability, it only made sense to put the jiffy on the left.
Was that a left handed middle finger I saw pop up there?
Ok, ok........I'll stop.
Now about the center stand?

the best answer i ever got for this question was simple, (and i have owned bikes with brake pedals on the left and shiters on the right, "bultaco" comes to mind first), and also, dont foget suicide shift bikes that had a clutch pedal on the left side,
but, the answer i was given by an ol timer was simple,
you always mount a horse from the left, its the way they are trained from the start, so, when bicycles first came into the world, the kickstand was at the rear, kinda a loop thing that went down around the wheel, then they came to the left side by simple math, "hey bob, where should we put this metal rod thing? i dunno hoss, hows bouts on the same side as we gets on our horses?"
just kinda happened that way from tradition
