I’d expect the same out of a machine I might potentially have to, say, deliver a pregnant wife to the hospital in.

lol first thing I thought of too. I've been in emergency situations where I needed to get to a hospital immediately and if my car did this I'd be fucking livid. As dangerous as motorcycles are at least I know that mine will never fail a software update or some shit, and if it doesn't start I can just bump start it to get it going and then figure out what's wrong later.

I'm no luddite but there's beauty in a machine that's designed to be as simple to operate and maintain as possible
