If a V8 car burns a gallon of fuel every 18 miles it must be emitting more pollution than a motorcycle using 1/2 a gallon over the same distance.




That's exactly what I'm saying. So why should a MC (or a scooter or lawnmower) have to meet the same emission PPM requirements as a V8 Suburban?




Jack, seeing as how you've brought up the issue of lawn mowers and small displacement engines, as just one example, if you'll go to this Wikipedia page about lawn mowers and then scroll down to "Environmental impact", I think you'll see what I'm talking about here.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
