Just cus you play the holier-than-thou card doesn't mean the rest of us aren't "being nice." If we're too much for ya, I'm sure lifetimetv.com has kinder gentler forums for ya.

Nope.

That's the picture. That's the TERRIFYING data... motorcycles are going to ruin the air quality for everyone around them.

BUT IT'S 10x THE CARS!!!!

Here's my take on this. You say motorcycles account for a trivial percentage of total pollution, and I agree. But we still prosecute shoplifters even though what they steal represents a trival percentage of all stolen goods, right?

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.

That is why God created women, cell phones, and SUVs. SUVs are taking care of those pollutin motorcyclists everyday.
