I could noy agree with you more. I will need the truck to drive at most 150 miles to collect my family and to get them to relative safety. After the first day we are staying put.
I bought a ‘79 Yamaha 650 for just that reason. 1979 was the last year before Yamaha switched over to electronic ignition. I DID switch it over to electronic ignition for reliability and quick starts, but have the parts to put it back original. I’ve also bought extra electrical/ignition parts and stored them in a small metal trash can lined with foamboard. Because I initially had mucho electrical problems with the bike, I am now intimately familiar with the workings.
