Your BMW will no longer chew up

won’t melt its battery and your Ducati
won’t vibrate all of its light bulbs to
TRAVEL
STRANDED!

scrap. Even your Harley won’t chew
up its electrics.
Most of these things have Gone
Before and would be Pushing upDaisies if they weren’t still scattered
through the shelves of bike wreckers.
