On the other hand, it might extend the riding season up here in the frozen north. Better than a Widder vest! Cody I was born a long ways from where I was supposed to be. - Bob Dylan

Since the sideways mounted one is sitting backside front, I would imagine that you could make some spectacular right turns using the torque effect. Rotec also makes a 150 HP 9 cylinder version.
