View Full Version : Have I missed something?

It dawned on me this morning when out in the 4 wheeled thing,that I have never owned a parallel twin motorcycle? :? I have owned a triple,single's,IL4's,V-Four and off course V twins.

Should I look to rectify this glaring void in my riding experience before I step to one of those Goldwing Trikey things which for some odd reason;(age!) seem to be taking on a irresistable allure? :shock:

Do I take it by parallel twin you mean something like an opposed piston and therefore leaning towards a Cossack Urinal

Tim...Wasn't really thinking of that kind of thing! Nor obviously Beemers. Just your common or garden parallel upright twin? :wink:
