I think they should fix the dang DEFECT so a reboot isn't necessary. It's not like this isn't a known bug. If you see some guy on the side of the road with a control shaft in one hand and a hex key in the other, frustrated look on his face, well, that's me.

One thing I intend to try next time is the "Emergency Shutdown" trick. You know.. Lick your thumb and index finger. Press your thumb into the key socket and rub the black screw under the handlebar with your index finger.

This is a 100% effective way to cause the machine to panic and shut down. I'm curious to know if it will get the machine out of the "Beep, I'm Ignoring You" mode.
