Then again, maybe I’m just getting old :)[/quote]

I am as old or older than you brother. My ideal motorcycle is 750H3 Kawasaki, two stroke with carburators and points (need to install modern brakes and shock though). Don’t really like the changes it just there, and it should be safer for old fart like me 🙂

This reminded me of an interview I read a long time ago, I think in Car and Driver in the early 90s, with Lee Iacocca about the future of auto technology. He said “over my dead body will any car of mine have drive-by-wire. Even if it’s triply redundant it can still fail”. I don’t agree with the decision he made concerning the Ford Pinto, but looks like he may have been right about this one.[/quote]

Didn’t GM have a car with a single pin failure would cause the rear axle to come apart? Also a single
crack in a control arm will cause a car to spin out.

Me I’d love Drive by Wire, I want to drive using
a sidestick controller so i can get a blow job
while on the road easily.

Now that the US government owns GM, I love how all of these stories about dangerous Japanese cars that need recalls are coming out.
