She isn't saying CCs aren't needed, she is just trying to make a point of how the motorcycles aren't even the huge problem they proclaim them to be. On top of that she also points out that these numbers are estimated.


I am surprised no one even mentioned the fact that most motorcycles don't even see the same amount of use at people's cars.

Fair enough. I still think the only reason motorcycles haven't been required to get smog-tested thus far is simply because it would probably cost more than it's worth to administer all the testing......Not because the % of pollution they put out is trivial.

I can sort of attest to your theory but the lady that almost killed me was unusual in her tactics. Instead of just mowing me down, she used a high end european car, a blackberry and blond hair to run into a truck with a pregnant young couple, which then ran into a much larger suv with 4 pretty chill black dudes in it, which then tried to run me over.

She basically morphed into a black dude in a Blazer. Those blonds I tell ya, they are just holding everyone down.
