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.

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.

She's a smart one. She must be taken out
