I thought that when we drove the MC, that it has a telescoping and tilting steering wheel. I saw a review that said it only tilted & can't find anything in the literature that it telescopes. My wife is concerned about driving right on top of the airbag. So, does the column telescope?

The 2002 model only has a tilting steering column... I haven't heard anything about a telescoping one, even for the 2003 model, but I think it would be a great thing to have!
