I give it 2 years... and there'll be a new bike ban.



EPA finds greenhouse gases pose a danger to health



People actually believe humans can affect the climate by driving too much, so they are looking for a sweeping cut down on emissions, which could eradicate motorcycle riding as we know it.



They're already trying it right now in Oregon.

well...its pretty much reality that vehicles put out 1/4 of all emissions......but there is much more to do then cut down motorcycles or pitbikes, brother!!

here in europe we will have from 2011 the 120 ppm rule for private cars...thats tuff...a usual Toyota puts out 180-145 ppm right now...imagine what you can do with lorries!!

You really believe that we humans DON'T have an affect on the climate?!?



wow....:confused:


I do not believe in global warming nor that our vehicles are affecting the earth's temperatures in any way, shape and/or form.



But that is besides the point. I am curious if anyone else here thinks this could crush motorcycle/ recreational riding?

i dont believe in all of that garbage. The earth is always changing.

Saying you believe in Global warning is like saying Obama is a good president.



but that would be really dumb for them to make a new ban

im with you man....i dont believe in that tree huger bull. They are just trying to find another way to control us. I just need to go buy a big diesel truck that blows black smoke on idle has lead tires and gets 3mpg, while having my buddies hang out the side spraying aerosol cans in to the air. Even if some of you believe in this crap cutting bikes wont show much result.

I have watched many shows and read a lot about climate changes and the fact is no one can prove whether or not greenhouse gases our affecting our climate. scientists on the other side believe it's the sun that controls our climate and our temp rises and lowers due to sunspots on the sun's surface.



In fact 95% of greenhouse gases are produced from water vapor. So should we get rid of the ocean, maybe put a cover over the entire thing to block the vapors from get into the air?



It's all a way for more control and people who think they are smarter than everyone else to decide what is safe for you. Eventually they will ban motocross altogether because it endangers one's safety.



read this is you want to know more about the greenhouse gases.

They are trying to ban bon fires in Cali because they think that is adding to global warming....

Give me a break. Freaking bureaucrats think they know whats best for the world.

climate changes are inevitable just part of the cycle of life. Do you guys think dinosaurs came and went because of the cave MAN....8)

Yeah, and? You can believe something all you want, doesn't make it true. Especially seeings how you are not a scientist. You make graphics.

agreed!! global warming is mostly due to solar activity, it's been observed over the past centuries...



global warming due to human activity claim is a mean to convince people to pay more carbon tax... that's only the begining. But somebody will have to pay for the trillion of $ injected in the economy... american and european tax payers!! thru carbon tax



Scaring people with so called terrorism and global warming is an effective way to force people to leave some of their liberties... this is the policy western countries keep on using since 2001 to control us!



Only my opinion... but the G20 resolutions recently taken in London only promote this type of policy.



You guys in the US have a strong "freedom incentive" and american politics manipulates you thru the mass media, in order to frighten most of people and reduce room for liberties...

By far, and with NO reasonable argument, MANKIND is the largest threat to the well-being of the planet, and the American is 8 times worse than the average Earthling.



Add in erosion, habitat destruction, stream pollution and all the other ecosystem nightmares, and the off-roader is violating the planet at an alarming rate.
