My motorcycle, Harley Davidson Pan America, is a computer on two wheels. If I fire it up before the computer completes the start phase (~10 seconds), it will eventually throw error codes.

If you want an automobile that will survive an EMP blast, find an old manual transmission Mercedes-Benz W123 240D.

Wow, 10 whole ass seconds? Peak HD design.

My CB300R just starts as soon as the fuel pump is done priming.

Yeah the human tends to be gravity fed to the bike, hard to stay on an upside down bike.
