- My brother is convinced this concept can be made to work in a streamliner with the right design. Driving the front wheels and steering the rear allows a less complicated compact design that keeps the

- Hi John; Two or three years ago I wrote the technical committee a letter with a proposal for a rear steer 500CC streamliner. The reply I received was from John Bjorkman who I believe was head of the

- I had an adjustable rear steer on my first liner test bed,(polywog). Got close, but ran out of time. The English were opposite mine, they steered with quick steering movement, (like a Corvair) Anythi
