Quite frankly, I expect my motorcycles to be as reliable as my cars. The only roadside breakdown I expect is a flat tire, and I carry a credit card, cell phone, and roadside assistance insurance for that. Since I quit driving two-stroke motorcycles, I have never had a spark plug failure. Since breaker points went out of fashion, I have never had an ignition failure. Since my 1959 Vespa motorscooter I have never had a control cable break. I concede to having to adjust the chain on my wife's Twinstar, but its onboard toolkit was adequate for that. That adjustment would not have been necessary, had I relied on 90-weight gear oil for chain lube instead of trusting the advertising on the can of PJ-1.
