@dibblego@davetchepak I rode a trike with a fixed axle (no diff?). that thing was impossible to steer: need to point front wheel and lean

@dibblego it boggles the mind that, on some motorcycles, when you steer left they turn right; surprises me every.single.time.#MoronsAboundThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
