farmers call that configuration the wrist breaker. maybe that was for models that didn't have power steering.
I had an M for many years that I significantly injured my left wrist on when my front wheels hit a hole. That steering wheel spun so quickly it caught my thumb and snapped the wrist sideways. That was after first breaking both bones just above the wrist running hurtles (or should I say tripping over hurtles) in HS. Pounding it really friggin hard with a 3 lb sledge last year didn't help either......
