Let me see if I can put my thoughts together coherently here...
I'm not gonna debate the emissions vs. fuel consumption- it's all interelated, and therefore must all be taken into account; we've got to look at the big picture and the ultimate bottom line to get a realisitc view. Numbers may be absolute, but when it comes to statistics, numbers can be skewed to support whatever side you're on.
I've no more to say on that.
What I'd like to get at is the idea of letting the solution be the revolution!
If we, collectively in this community, can work towards friendly legislation on the legalities of motored bikes overall, and can promote and present a good public image, it will lead us further down the road towards bringing these two strokes to America; by way of finding manufacturing HERE! We can build tier II compliant engines here...
Yes, yes, I know the nay sayers will shout about costs, and impossibilities, but were almost at a snapping point in this country, something has got to give, and either we will need to pull it back together or collapse and fall.
Why not work towards these little engines being the solution, and therefore, the revolution?
heh...
My final shout is that I hate government intrusion, I understand the need for some of it, but they get carried away and go way too far.
I hate the E.P.A. and the unfair play they get away with. Thyey ARE big business and it's all about lining pockets, NOT what's in the best interest of everyone overall.
I hate new cars, they are ugly, expensive, and **** near impossible to fiddle with. That's why i drive around in a pollution maker; it's part rebellion, part love...
So we've debated and discussed, now let's see if we can move the discussion towards action... What can we
do? how can we
get involved?
Where can we get started to make a difference and make this possibility a reality?
