Southpaw

After being off a bike for a few years(got t-boned on my SV650, broke the femur) the itch finally returned in full swing and I happened across a wonderful deal on one of my dream bikes, the S2R 1000.  Made me happy to be back on 2 wheels, now just need to respring the bike to work with my weight.

Welcome!
That's a sought after model.
This is a great international forum with plenty of information and advice, and good sponsors.
Down here an old Aussie term for southpaw or lefty is mollyduker!
Cheers.

So now I must ask where does the term Mollyduker come from?

I googled it! Quite a lot of argument about its origins, but from 18th or 19th century English slang evolving into use in Australia when I was a kid. Kids dont know it now, probably died out in the 80s.
