    the more important question is, will it wave to other bikers?

    Not so much that it tests acceleration, it is the fact that it can do a programmed run exactly the same way each time with no human variable. Sounds whoop de doo but I guess is useful for evaluating changes.

    A uniform KB wave?

    Oh, a robot than can explain the inner workings of a woman's mind?

    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
