I really don't like it when....

I am doing a slow uphill left turn at a T junction a few hundred metres
after leaving work and the bike says "you didn't turn the fuel on idiot."

Yes it's really quite good. But I don't like the german accent and how it
orders me around.

It doesn't have a lot of go at the best of times.

With my incredibly acute perceptions I was able to instantly translate the
motorycle engine message of "sputter, lurch, sputter" to "you didn't turn
the fuel on idiot."
I then followed the "Immediate action drill"
Step 1. emit swear word of choice.
Step 2. madly twist open throttle to get a couple more drops of fuel.
Step 3. blindly reach down for fuel tap.
Step 4. find tap, turn on.
Concurrent activity - continue to twist throttle, alternately swear and coax
the bike not to stall while looking around to see if anyone is watching.
Step 5. ride on.

I thought you'd be used to that, army and all?

 

Mine gives a few discreet coughs when it's got enough left for another
500 metres.

You forgot just before the IA occurs, to have the word of God (A WO) yell .. "BIKE RUNS, BIKE STOPS, WHAT DO
YOU DO!!!!!!!!" ... to which you then do the IA ...

 

LOL I'm a chocco WO2 now days and usually have a CPL put me through the
TOET's. They are mostly polite enough not to yell at an old bloke.

... "BIKE RUNS, BIKE STOPS, WHAT DO

 

I don't know what the go is at the pointy end but in the logistic tail
orders are generally framed as a polite suggestion or request. Of course a
polite request from the CO or RSM = do it
