Lets just make them automatics instead. Add 2 more wheels and throw a solid steel cage around them.

Let me revise that:

"No", unless my foot became totally disabled for shifting, but I could otherwise ride.......

No, I think adding 2 more seats would take away from the beauty of the sport.

"Testing has shown that by eliminating much of the physical effort and mental concentration involved with shifting gears, riders are able to focus on the road and maintain a higher level of control over thier motorcycle"

... yeah... shifting really is a burden of motorcycling. :roll:

Cynical I may be, but after reading the description it actually sounds like it's more complicated than normal shifting.
