PS BMW motorcycles also use shaft drive. BMW bike?
The truly tragic part is that Quayle wasn't wrong - the press was just looking for another chance to get in a cheap shot. If you're in your mid to late 50's, think back - we were taught to spell that word P-O-T-A-T-O-E. Cutting off the 'E' was a 60's thing if my memory is correct.

And yeah, two wheels is two wheels, no matter what the propulsion, no matter what the speed. Two wheels good, four wheels AWFUL!!!!
