Default 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?

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?

Pete, you want to try one of these mate.



Got one I could let you have for a reasonable price

Cheers Mark.
