I was just checking out a link that David Suzuki put on his facebook page about greener living.
While I was there I read an article on motorcycles. Apparently, they are less environmentally friendly than passenger cars (due to the less stringent rules for motorcycles, currently).

This just seems counter-intuitive. Must do more investigation on my bike.

Oh the irony Mel, the irony. :-)
An interesting bit of info. My bike gets about 45 to 50 miles to the gallon, while my neighbor's Yukon gets 15 mies to the gallon. Yet I polute the environment more than he? Ha!
Anyhow, while it's true that the exhaust control of an average motorcycle might be less controlled, more miles can be covered on an average motorbike than an average car. I wonder if that balances the favor to the motorcyclist?
Ride safe!
