Quick updates

	Two more votes for US-based riders preferring left turns. One was fearful of running wide in a right turn, the other is ambivalent on regular turns, but in U-turns, greatly prefers left turns, likely due to weight-loading and throttle use.

News

	The new Africa Twin comes to the States
	Victory takes an Electric sport bike to The IOM TT
