Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #2Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #1 at the pace they are updating the 30 year old infrastructure, the Channel Tunnel might get AI in 2060. I doubt AI will run on their Windows 95 computers.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #3 Maybe, but think of all the other systems that ARE being pushed into the AI sphere. Like gas stations, utilities, communications companies, etc. An "AI emergency" would bring the world to its knees. Maybe an analog world wouldn't be so bad... |

I heard a report on the BBC last night that the Tunnel was partially open. Maybe by today it will be back in full operation again, just in time for a New Year.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #5Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #4 Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it (a full-on techno world). Maybe we're Luddites, or maybe just hopelessly behind the times, but at our home we're tech minimalists. My computer is at least a decade old (works fine), we have no smart phones (still think that's an oxymoron), our car is 25 years old (and drives beautifully, with all of 80,000 miles on it), we read actual books instead of Kindles, and our diet consists of real, organic food instead of a simulacrum of same. And, at the moment anyway, my favorite bike is the completely analog Suzuki GSX-R750. You can't have my "fleet"...but thanks for the offer. As my wife likes to say, wessie..."happiness is wanting what you already have..." Happy New Year! |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #8Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #7 Nitpicker...  GSXR: No TFT, no traction control, no cornering ABS (no ABS...period), no quickshifter, no wheelie control, no TPMS, no heated anything, no fuel gauge, etc. Pretty much analog, though I'll give you the ECU comment. Compared to the RS, the GSXR is delightfully an unadorned joy to ride in the canyons; when the weather's warm, I'll see how it does on a 150-200 mile ride in the mountains. |

To drive the nitpicking a bit further: Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #8Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #7 That specific ECM probably not, but in general, yes, ECM can be analogue: D-Jetronic Edit: typo "And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head." |

Got a soft spot in the heart for Suzuki. My second bike (first was a 100cc German thing in 1960...can't recall the name...Zundapp maybe), in 1983, was a Suzuki GS550ES. What a fun bike...and quick, too. The '26 GSX-R750 reminds me why I like these bikes so much...it's got fantastic sound, is torquey, flickable to the extreme, looks like a million bucks and has all the power a rider needs on the streets/canyon roads. I think it's more fun than any of the S1000RR's I've had...and while maybe not 100% analog, it's pretty much there. |
