My father bought a wartime surplus Harley when he returned from WWII, had a grand good time stripping the military paintjob and repainting it only to have two scary accidents within a few months (civilian turning left in front of him, mechanical failure in the drive sprocket) which put him off the whole business.  

I was going to bring up our faith in machines to continue to work as intended, despite our contrary experience.  There's nothing quite like a 2 wheeler that becomes a 1-1/2 or 1 wheeler at any velocity worth mentioning.
