Re: A trend I don't like at all

 
I like it.  It shouldn't be that hard to fix in software.  Harley has
been at it for a while now and I haven't heard anything negative.
Beats the hell out of getting dressed only to find your key in your
jeans beneath you jacket and riding pants now that you got gloves on
and you're already 20 minutes late.

 

The solution is simple, they need to follow the 3 Asimovian Laws of robotics.

1. A motorcycle may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human
being to come to harm.

2. A motorcycle must obey rider input given it by human beings except where such
orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A motorcycle must protect its own existence as long as such protection does
not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Agreed. I happened to see a filemed interview with Mikhael
Kalishnikov this morning. Best quote in the interview (probably
garbled by me):

That which is useful is usually simple.
That which is not simple is seldom useful.

 

It's only going to happen when the bars are on full lock, to allow the
mechanical part of the lock to engage, so it's very unlikely to happen
in normal riding.

But yes, it's an issue. Electronic keys are not always a good idea.

  Normal *HARLEY* rider riding, maybe.  I doubt I go a single trip without
making a full-lock turn at least once.  Typically with the wife on the back
seat.

  If you ain't making full-lock turns, you ain't finding the most
intersting of places.
