If you want more adventure in your life, ride a #motorcycle
Got on my bike to ride home from work, turned the key... all electronics died 3 seconds after turning on and stayed dead.
Battery completely gone? Didn't sound or feel like a fuse.
Pushed the motorcycle to the motorcycle shop a couple of hundred meters down the road.
A five minute diagnose later: wires going into the ignition lock are broken. Fixable, but not now. Give us your name and phone number, here's the keys for a loaner.

Totally excellent service and trust from a small village motorcycle shop!
As an aside, I love how mechanics define "This is a good car" (*slaps the hood*).
It means: everything works and it is dependable. I got a 20 yo Hyundai i10 with 261K kms on the odo. It runs fine and the radio works.

@ankedesign Het viel me alles mee. Het vervelendste was nog alle voering in mijn pak want 's ochtends is het koud en nu was het 17 graden. Beetje zweten
Ik kende de garage gelukkig, ik tank er ongeveer 1 keer per week omdat ie langs de uitvalsweg het dorp uit zit. -

@fschaap I had something similar last year. Ended up getting recovery out who, after stripping off most of the front end, repaired the wires. So glad I was in the car park at work, he’d never have stripped it down like that at the side of the road.
I used to resent the annual cost, but after that, it’s worth every penny!

@Andy Yeah, roadside assistance is really worth it if you really need it. I do pay for it! I was happy I was close to the motorcycle shop so that was the easier solution

@fschaap Now try that in the wild and you’re stuck without a bike for a week or so.

@fschaap I've had the opposite of that electrical problem (i.e. impossible to diagnose). In my case, it was exacerbated by heat, so I was able to limp the 1700 remaining km home by riding in the mornings and evenings, and keeping the engine under 4500rpm.
It is so valuable to have a reliable shop nearby. I'm envious.
