It sounds like you have turned their heads, let them be Ducatis again, one day they'll realise and blame you, turn around while there's still time, you know it makes sense.
Brand fluid, that's priceless, that could be the new forum name, just come on as an owner of whatever you identify as. Brand fluid Bike Forum,it's got a ring to it for sure.
"Brake fluid" would be a problem. Sometimes the left hand lever identifies as a clutch ... sometimes a brake ... that doesn't sound safe to me. This whole trans thing is not very well thought out.
Back to the drawing board methinks, throw in the gear lever on the other side on an English bike and it's totally fucked.
