    Shaft drive is more reliable and they dont make a mess of the back wheel.

    Well, he may have talked b*llocks about some things, but in this
    instance he is quite obviously a wise, erudite, intelligent and
    perceptive person, and is right :)

    I don't see what Voldemort has to do with Shafties wheelying or
    countersteering.

    To paraphrase an aeronautical myth :->

    "According to certain dynotechnical tests a shaftie cannot countersteer
    because of the contrafibulation of gyroscopic and torsional forces, and
    the consequent inverse peripetal convulutes oscillating out of phase.
    The shaftie doesn't know this, so it goes ahead and countersteers (and
    wheelies) anyway".
