I think everyone who drives four wheels of any kind should be required to have ridden two wheels for at least a year and be able to prove it. I often ride on two wheels Not for a year though - usually for a fraction of a second 2008 XXVII Platform, Bugatti Blue Roadster 4 Seater

Having driven one, which I gelled with instantly, I'm at a loss to explain why this should be the case - could someone please enlighten me? The engine is more powerful than the chassis can really cope with, as admitted to me by the factory driver who took me out in one. Now if you are Lewis, you will happily cope. Most of us arent Lewis so it only needs some clumsy right foot on a bad surface for things to get exciting.
