May I also point out that you are the heart and soul of the operation. Placing you potentially in harm’s way seems ill advised, at all levels. May I suggest a BMW Dealership if the problem returns in lieu of you potentially riding on I-5, experiencing a sudden change in speed, and having to improvise on a motorcycle that seems fickle at best and cursed at worst!

Thank you very much for your concern here, but I'd rather have a recurring problem happen to me, rather than one of our other guys, who'd then be calling me for help. I've gotten pretty darn good at shutting off and turning back on without losing too much speed or focus.

Besides.... now it's personal. 

I gave the AI chatbots the two codes it tripped last night, and it's given me several interesting things to scan. I'm like Quint going after the shark at this point.

Stripes or no stripes, it looks awesome. Nice Merc as well.
I had a good friend in college who got married and had kids way before he could afford it, and was driving a beater Dodge Omni.
His boss told him that such a crap car was unsafe to carry his family, and gave him... literally gave him his 1977 450SEL so that his children would be riding in a safer car.

A 1977 450SEL is a wonderful car in the hands of someone who can afford to take care of it. My friend could not. Not too long after taking posession, the car needed new catalytic converters, which totalled over $5k. The car remained parked from that point on.

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
