Unless one goes "two-up" often enough to warrant it, why would anyone forfeit the economy of capital and operating costs, ease of jackassing in and out of garages, the versatility (many can accommodate ample gear and farkels) and the absolutely - unreservedly - more fun that can be had with a light bike?

Mine is keeping me dangerously child-like. Almost any model from today's increased offerings of 600-800 cc's are a blast. Of course like women's breasts, martinis, legs and hands, two bikes (one for comfort and one for speed) are better than one. Some might observe two partners of the opposite sex - one for comfort and t'other for speed ain't bad either.

I don't need to look at no stinking articles to know that if I were to come up with anything significant (a long held aspiration) en proximo to anything like two jugs with a long thing underneath - designed to balance something or other - a "Merging Traffic" sign would be in order or a collision would surely ensue.
