I guess I'm turning into a Luddite in my latter years.
No offense to those that own them, but I just don't like the new motorcycles, cars and trucks, or even tractors. Too damn much electronic crap on them.
Even Ol' Blue has a bit too much to suit me. Stuff like motorcycles has always been a bit expensive, but $350 just to flash and map a tune? Seriously??

Yep and forces you to the dealer for almost any fix at $100+/hr. Last year was the first time I ever bought an extended warranty on anything. 2 yr warranty on Ultra ran out and thought $900 to extend it for 3 years was a safe bet. Any computer glitch will eat that up in a heartbeat.

Cell phones are bad enough, but these vehicles make it even worse. PA still has not passed a handheld device law. I would think the insurance companies would be all over having that law passed.
