    Can we ride more than one bike simultaneously?

    Are there any laws against riding more than one bike at once? Maybe electro-magnetic side-by-side coupling, but with independent steering so they can instantly pop apart. Would that be a legal cheater way to get 4 wheel stability in the winter?

    Alter Ego CVT: Fluff or good stuff?
