I have to say I get a lot of inspiration from motorcycle design. Ducati is a big example, however it's the relationship between user and machine that seems so refined and perfectly researched that intrigues me.
The motorcycle and rider are useless without each other - it's a symbiotic relationship. This is how I design software now, with the idea in mind that the software isn't manipulating the user, nor is the user manipulating the software. The goal is the road/destination (or just the trip itself) and the software is the motorcycle. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
