It would be so much fun if the Zondnautica had been a cyborg-hybrid of a man and a bike. Ыhock absorbers and pistons implanted and spinal cord germinated into the machine, staff like that. So while it is driving, it is a kind of mecha-centaur, and when it separates, it indeed remains one, the nerve signals have to be send through the mesh, and there are parts of the bike in the pilot, and human ones in the moto. Would be exactly in the style of Hollowmen and Puppetactica :)
