Are you sure?

I can well imagine one of us driving one, but can you imagine the carnage and chaos if everyone had one?

People have trouble pushing a shopping trolley. How do you think they would cope flying a plane?
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

One of those could give speed cameras a bit of a headache - but heaven help us if the average motorist were let loose in one.
