motorcycles and emissions
#121
I'm new here and I'm pretty disappointed to see how this thread went. The guy started out asking a fair question. He didn't lecture anyone or try to sway anyone's opinion, he merely stated his own position and asked a question.
Is this how the "Harley culture" works? I hope not. Most of the Harley riders I've met are pretty nice people from a variety of backgrounds and education and they earn a living doing vastly different things, yet they still manage to respect each other.
I don't see anything wrong with someone making a personal decision that they want to do their part to keep this ball o' dirt in good shape. Whether you believe emission producing engines create pollution or not, I would think someone should have the right to come in here and ask a simple question about his exhaust system.
But what do I know, I'm new here and I'm from one o' them blue states.

Got nothing against NYers--hell, I was born there! If you get away from the urban areas, much of NY is red state type folks. What I do have a problem with, though, is people from those "blue" areas relocating here because of high taxes, etc., and trying to influence us to make the same mistakes that were made where they came from.

I agree with this, and it is a serious question. The aftermarket will have to adapt. They did it with autos, they will do it with bikes as well. Soon we will get performance as well as the environment. Just not right now.

Well now, that wasn't very cool of him to do that....

This is the gentlemans' 2nd post and the first talking politics and or laws and let's face it laws are about politics, just ask the liberals around here. Seems to me that he was the one that hijacked his own thread and yeah schu he never did apologize. I think that was probably the first personal attack. always goona go downhill from there.
