Yes, yes, yes. It is a very ludicrous idea. I am the first to admit it!
But if we stop and consider it from the point of view of an important personage...how else can one preserve a modicum of royalty in these hurried times? In modern traffic, there is no way a traditional palanquin will keep up.
Motorbikes are the answer: they are fast and they are highly manoeuvrable. When each of the four palanquin bearers is riding a motorbike with his free hand, it gives the personage the chance to once again among the highest modes of personal transport. The group dynamics needed to co-ordinate four motorcycles present a very real "where will I end up" factor that the personage can always reflect on.
Rentals will also be popular, like the horse & carriage rides in many cities.

Maybe a multidirection swivel bearing point ( like a windsurfer universal) on the motorcycle would allow both hands on the handlebars . |
