Really interesting Tony, I know Regs are supposed to create more of a level playing field but they must inevitably stifle development to some degree.
It is a pity there is not a totally free class to see where it could all go, I remember the fuss that the Owen Greenwood trike caused at the time but to be fair it didn't even have a sidecar.
I know you have published technical books but if you ever felt like writing one about your life experiences with motorcycles it would make a good read.
