I’m looking forward to a motorcycle engine on a small tubular steel car frame. It should go fast, corner, stop quick and carry groceries, tools, whatever. 2+2 seating and licensed for the road would make it FUN AND economical.

Something like a sand buggy, legal for the streets will do just fine. I don’t want no “crumple zone”. I want a frame around my bod.

If they want to cut back on gas use. This will do it. Instead of widening freeways and roads, they could narrow the lanes on existing ones.

The motorcycle engine on a small car frame works as I have had a car that had 492cc and was made entirely of steel tube, box spars and fiberglass.

In looking through the data and instructions published by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation it struck me that driving a motorcycle is a great deal like flying an aircraft. If you drive a cycle with that in mind you should be entirely safe.
