"responsibility for doing this" ... Of course ... Why don't you start a campaign to educate 3rd world countries along with Pakistan, India, China and the rest of the non-participating governments who continue to operate at 19th century goals ... I do my share and don't need to be preached to ":>)

Were you listing every single option upgrade improvement and add on of the bike?
Maybe even bragging about your tuner?
Just list the basic motorcycle.
When there's interest tell them about all the other things.
I think listing everything like that doesn't do you any good anyway as it comes across as you really love this motorcycle and value it highly and you want all that money you put into it.

well mr. tax
have you ever drove into cali back in the early 70's ???
you could see it for miles out smog hanging over major cities, shoot chicago was the worst at 100 miles out you could see black rising on the horizon like burning tires.
the issue wasn't the improvements, it was the bureaucracy behind it.
case in point, do not remember her name but she was the one that killed the two cycle in cali all because she got pissed at some lawn workers early in the morning and she wanted to sleep. the law was not with her but the blue smoke coming from the lawnboy gave her ammunition to teach them a lesson.
when cali started the tail pipe sniffer, the low riders would pass without a cat but since there was none, no sticker. ever been along side a low rider with the fenders flapping in the breeze??? well i suggest you do not challenge it as you will be seeing tail lights.
today it is a proven FACT, you can have both and the computer control was key and better materials made lead not needed.
i worked offshore and in the beginning you hardly saw oil sheen, today hardly see clear top. one idiot foreman would dump his problem into the water when there was a better way to solve it, BUT, oil companies do not like down time and lost production.
hard to say about all of this stuff, but we dump massive amounts of heat and junk and like the ocean, it doesn't go away and mother nature is over whelmed when she tries to clean it up naturally. there is some pretty nasty bacteria that loves to munch down on oil, we use it to clean up spills.

That is too many all lower case words. Can you get AI to generate a summary?
Any issues with all the rockets launching from So Cal leaving giant clouds of orange smoke? Orange smoke cannot be a good thing....

Calm down, tree hugger. You started it, he made a joke. Nobody needs one of your diatribes on pollution.
