    hmmm...
    Two questions:
    1. Why did he get on the bike from the right side?
    2. Why didn't it start up the first time he tried?

    It should be a good Moto GP season this year!

    He always gets on bikes from the right side. That's his thing. I'm guessing it's a racer superstition.

    What are you talking about?!? It started right up as soon as he thumbed the starter!

    I liked the technical video on the same page too, that Yami has some sweet technology.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    horses don't like you to get on them from the right side, nor
    do dogs like to be led on your right side.
    meh, what does a machine care?

    I remember that some Indian tribes mounted their horses from the right side.
    Maybe Rossi's a member of the Winnedego tribe?
