Slavvy posted:As you're the former owner of literally the most exciting p2 ever made, and a middle aged man, I consider you the authority on both of these matters. The Laverda was a special case, any effect it had on my libido was nullified by the fact that it would break down on the way to exercise said libido. Mind you it certainly gave the owners of recovery vehicles and garages the horn.

Coydog posted:In oceans 11 there was a device that fit in a van that sent EMP over a wide area. I don't think it's abnormal to worry about this sort of thing. If it's not turned on at the time - almost certainly yes. If it *is* turned on, then probably still yes, because of the short, convoluted wiring runs meaning the pulse won't be able to induce much current. More modern bikes *may* have a problem from the magnetic effects causing corruption in the flash memory on the ECU but that needs "multiple lightning strikes directly on the bike" levels of power required, at which point you probably have other problems to worry about.

They made several. The F1 is the one everyone remembers because it was the homologation special for the TT and BSB-winning RCW, but there was also the Classic, which was their first one (started off with a licence-built Suzuki engine but massively tweaked), then their own twin-rotor design in the Commander (a sports-tourer) and the Interpol (a Commander with bigger built-in storage and 24V electrics for police and military use). Funnily enough they weren't actually as catastrophically bad as "Wankel-engined British bike" would make you believe, but by the time the water-cooled engine made it to production (which fixed most of the biggest problems with the air-cooled originals) the Fireblade had come out and it might as well have been steam-driven.

Gorson posted:Thanks for the info. "the Interpol" is an incredible name for a bike, but only if it came in a civilian version. It was the second time they used the name (for some reason Norton loved reusing names, but then they generally were pretty loving good at names so it's not a surprise) and legend has it is that the 70s original was originally called the Interceptor, which is an awesome name for a police bike, but Jensen Cars claimed a trademark for all road vehicles of that name. Never been sure why the rotary experiment ended for bikes after the Suzuki RE5 and the Nortons - all of the things that make them bad for car use (high maintenance requirements, low torque/high revs, need for lots of cooling) are things that bikes are much more tolerant of, and it's not like 80s bike manufacturers were being particularly conservative. I assume Honda rejected the idea and kept chasing the NR because of Not Invented Here syndrome but you'd have thought one of the other Japanese manufacturers would have given it a go if only to try and gently caress up Honda at a time when everyone thought the NR was going to extend their lead over the competition even further.

I do have to wonder just how many of these "Take my wife... please" types are actually just closeted gay guys who only got married due to societal expectations, because they don't actually seem to enjoy the company of women at all and definitely seem like they'd be happier sharing their lives with another moustachioed dude.
