When I was young I had a phase of motorcycling. Always British bikes with rear footbrake on the left.
After a gap of 30 years I needed to use a motorbike again. Now the back brake was on the right and although under normal circumstances I would remember this, in an emergency stop I was unreliable and twice went for the wrong side. I believe this was a condtioned reflex which I couldn't get rid of. I know I'm not the only person who has had this problem.
As you can see, I did survive. Nowadays I steer clear of all motorbikes!
