But what they do do is tell the machinery what the ambient air pressure
is, and that's dead useful to know regardless of altitude.

I know that, the manufacturers call them 'altitude' sensors.

I didn't know that.

Unfortunately most automotive terminology was created by the
Americans... need I say more?

Mine has even got an exterior temp
sensor, interior temp sensor and a sunlight sensor too.

I want a Laverda Jota. It's got points and a coil, I understand. No
chance of it being knocked out by one of those EMP weapons.

Now you're talking. My dream machine would be a Brough Superior.

I'd like lots of old bikes - at least three 1000cc Vincent series C or D
twins. One for concourse, one for daily riding with a few modern
adaptions, and one psycho nutcase heavy custom job. Supercharger.
Nitrous. Modern brakes, wheels, tyres. Modern front end generally,
modern rear shocks, one silencer baffle, and a pudding basin lid for me.
/And/ ear-plugs.

If the Vincent owners club don't like it, I'll just out-run 'em. ;-)

I could do with some Kawasaki two stroke triples. And a few old Triumph
triples with modern carbs and electrics.

Aye, I think we ought to stop there... ;-)

Or I could be slower and more sensible at get one of the new
Cranfield-engined diesel bikes - the civvy version will apparently have
a mechanical fuel pump just like the mil spec model, so it'll run
without any electrics at all.

Ideal. I still reckon there's a market for a *very* simple and basic
motor.

Honda makes one. It's in the C90.

Good point, I have actually seriously considered one of those.

Nope. Neither the BMW K100 (some of the later 16v models did) I had, or
the FJ1200, had any kind of temp warning.

Coo. Well, well, well.

And yet they fit them to a computer eh?

But there's no temp warnings and no temp sensor display in the MacOS UI.

Not as standard no.
