    But surely both the Camel and the Boxers turn far more readily in the
    opposite direction to that which the motor turns?

    Please tell me I'm wrong.

    Then something isn't right. I do tend to do long, partially boring trips
    on my RT and I can't say I've noticed any wayward handling that wasn't
    caused by either the rear wheel bearing or a zombie tyre.
    I would, only that I won't be able to do that as I'm picking up the
    Integrale. How's Friday as that's when I'll be in London next?

    That's likely it. You do roundabouts from time to time, or even quite a
    lot, leading to more wear on the right side of the tyre.

    Not in my experience.

    Well the crank doesn't move on a Camel, but the torque reaction is still
    opposite to the rotation of the motor. Crank or whole engine.
