Narrative:

We were preparing to depart to do 3 takeoffs and 3 lndgs in the pattern at baf. I was planning to fly the aircraft, since the throw-over yoke was on my (right seat) side. There are no brakes on my right side of the aircraft. The owner of the aircraft, after I yelled twice to 'stop!' stopped the aircraft on the hold line markings. The controller shouted for us to 'stop now!' after catching my breath, I said that 'we were stopped.' I asked the owner why he did not stop. He said that he'd thought we were cleared for takeoff. I was well aware that I had only been cleared to taxi and had there been brakes on my side (right side) of the aircraft, this incident would not have happened at all. I believe that all GA aircraft should have brakes on both sides of the aircraft. I am glad that there was no other aircraft in the pattern, and that we did not advance into the white runway boundary area. (The main gear was on the hold lines and the nose gear was no more than about 2 ft past the last markings.) in the future when I fly on the right side of an aircraft with no brakes on that side I will brief the person on the left side that we will stop well before the hold short line! I don't even want to come close to this type of situation again.

Title: BE55 PLT, FLYING FROM THE R SEAT HAD A RWY INCURSION AT BAF.

Narrative: WE WERE PREPARING TO DEPART TO DO 3 TKOFS AND 3 LNDGS IN THE PATTERN AT BAF. I WAS PLANNING TO FLY THE ACFT, SINCE THE THROW-OVER YOKE WAS ON MY (R SEAT) SIDE. THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON MY R SIDE OF THE ACFT. THE OWNER OF THE ACFT, AFTER I YELLED TWICE TO 'STOP!' STOPPED THE ACFT ON THE HOLD LINE MARKINGS. THE CTLR SHOUTED FOR US TO 'STOP NOW!' AFTER CATCHING MY BREATH, I SAID THAT 'WE WERE STOPPED.' I ASKED THE OWNER WHY HE DID NOT STOP. HE SAID THAT HE'D THOUGHT WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF. I WAS WELL AWARE THAT I HAD ONLY BEEN CLRED TO TAXI AND HAD THERE BEEN BRAKES ON MY SIDE (R SIDE) OF THE ACFT, THIS INCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL. I BELIEVE THAT ALL GA ACFT SHOULD HAVE BRAKES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ACFT. I AM GLAD THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER ACFT IN THE PATTERN, AND THAT WE DID NOT ADVANCE INTO THE WHITE RWY BOUNDARY AREA. (THE MAIN GEAR WAS ON THE HOLD LINES AND THE NOSE GEAR WAS NO MORE THAN ABOUT 2 FT PAST THE LAST MARKINGS.) IN THE FUTURE WHEN I FLY ON THE R SIDE OF AN ACFT WITH NO BRAKES ON THAT SIDE I WILL BRIEF THE PERSON ON THE L SIDE THAT WE WILL STOP WELL BEFORE THE HOLD SHORT LINE! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO COME CLOSE TO THIS TYPE OF SIT AGAIN.
