That...

is pretty cool.

I am a bit unclear as to how it actually steers though.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

If memory serves me correctly there was a mad new zealander how use to come up for TT every year on a home built machine back in the late 90's early naught's and I never worked out how you steered the thing then and still don't but it must work cause he got it round the Isle of man many times.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
