This setup would induce anxiety in me each time I would watch that TV and think its about to fail. And I'd always be thinking I'll need to patch all those tiny holes in the future.
In Canada my wife was using https://www.helcim.com , they work with Elevon. Great service overall. We were paying an average of 1.9% for in-person chip and that was due to to all the reward cards and Amex. Interac debit (not visa debit) was 9 cents per transaction. Next day deposits as well.
I owned the bike for 2 years about 15+ years ago before I t-boned a car (their fault). The bike was written off. It was the first and last Harley I ever owned. After that I switched to Japanese and Italian bikes.
well I had muffled pipes, not straight pipes and I never gunned the bike with people around or at stop lights. In the parkade I would put around. The reason for the alarms going off was the resonance and vibration of the bike with its crappy rubber engine mounts. I have always found tuner cars with their fat pipe exhausts way worse.
In large cities people ignore car alarms and are more and likely going to attract a brick through the window from pissed of neighbors. The biggest issue is people with car alarms have the sensitivity so low anything triggers them. I used to live in a condo, owned a Fatboy and when I fired up the bike and rode up the underground parkade 6-10 cars alarms would go off.
I would also add the large backlash against Papa John's ex-Founder which helped move some customers over to Dominos. But everything you pointed out was spot on.
