Gary, one problem I see, and I don't know the answer, is that if you
steer the mc streamliner right to turn right, it wants to lean to the
left, and maybe fall over to the left. So how do you steer and correct
these motions to get it to go the direction you want? I agree that the
rider on top of it would be better able to control it. But in "Flat
Out" Noel Pope was on top in '49 of the JAP/Brough streamliner, and
reports it wanted to go one way, and he pushed the other with all his
strength against the body, "like a brick wall" and it still fell over at
about 150 or something. However, he says the bodywork had been damaged
in transit from England to Bonneville, and the structure was maybe
warped by forcing the pieces together.
The mc streamliner is really a deep subject. Bill
