Caused by the coriolis effect, but clock or counter clockwise depends on which side of the international date line you are on. We've been over this before!

Was that in a left turn or a right turn? Of course it depends on whether you are using local time or Grenwich Mean Time.

Just curious, which is closer, Tulsa, or by bus?

It depends on how long its been since the last time you changed out your dilithium crystals and if you are traveling at impulse or warp speed. Of course if your in the neutral zone, that changes everything.

Since my rear fender is currently black, and not fully painted like the rest of the bike, this causes a reverse effect to the rotational direction of my rear tire, when looking at in in a review mirror from a car going the opposite direction on a one-way road downtown.

Hope that clears things up.

It's obvious that some of you do not have enough to do.

Depends on your shoe size.

To give a more precise answer need to know more information.
What brand of tires are you running?
Rims, spoked or cast?
Inflation pressure, air or nitrogen?
Do you have apes?

And are you using Spring Air or jumped the shark and are already running Summer Air in your tires?
