Is my motorcycle a cyborg?

Hello DT,

(It’s my first post so I hope it’s on the right spot)

I’m working on a keyless start for my daily driver/commuter (will make a proper project thread when it’s far enough along …). While taking apart some fairing I was thinking it would be nice to have a shortcut for common addresses/setting for my phone (that I use as gps nav.).
It’s nothing fancy, but here is is, some ntag216 stickers under the fairing:

How you like it,

I think for that to be the case, you have to encase some biology somewhere in the bike… or maybe just splatter some blood on it and call it good.

Isn’t that just called “roadkill” though?

not really… because (hopefully) that’s unintentional… like getting a metal splinter doesn’t make you a cyborg… but purposely implanting titanium shims on your bones is a different story :slight_smile:

Typically the creators of cyborgs are really really good at robotics, but absolutely terrible at the AI involved…so they just steal a human brain and what ever else that brain needs to DELETE
