Default Do the tires spin clockwise or counterclockwise?

And what side of the bike do you determine this from if somebody asks? I just want to be ready in case this question ever comes my way. Thanks HDF.

Who cares as long as the bike moves in a forward direction when you hit the gas.

Did you mean while standing on your head? Don't think I've even seen any stunt riders do this. Do they do this in Australia? Is that why the Australian government has been targeting the bikies down under?

Mine run counter clockwise if you look from the left, and clockwise if you look from the right, except when I back out of the garage then it's the reverse.

A few possible questions to answer first:

It depend on which direction you are turning?

It depends on if you are left or right handed?

What country are you in and which side of the road do you drive on?

Which side is your drive chain/belt on? ........
