Hi Howard, you won't be surprised that I have an answer! Jiffy stands are on the LEFT, so we can park and get off on the kerb side of the bike, rather than into the traffic. I reckon that means that WE invented it! 
But of course we were Imperial then, not metric.....

Howard looked like what I thought he would the first time I met him , if you read his bio he is a ex marine , all former marines I know including my family members keep their appearance neat and hair short for the most part

ahh the good ole days,.....
i'm hanging on to my whitworth wrenches, just in case. maybe they'll be in style again come y-3k, ya think? if you know what the whitworth system was, join the club, you're old like me. lucas electrics, aptly named in honor of the prince of darkness because the lucas lights on bikes were prone to failure. ain't motorcycle trivia a hoot?

I just came back from Daytona where I put 800 miles on my new JRI B shocks. All I can say is WOW! The back of the bike is so smooth - I can't even feel most bumps from my seat. My buddy with a road king couldn't believe how much smoother my bike was than his. Bumps in the middle of a fast corner don't affect the bike at all. Howard was very helpful and set me up right! A big thank you to him and to this forum for pointing them out. Now I have to find something better than the modified intimitators I just put in the forks... Joe

I worked for a cigarette company for 30 years, the last 25 as a mechanic. The first machines I worked on were Molins from England and my wrenches were whitworth. I still have a few of them in my toolbox at home.
