Default Engine tuning & the environment (Touring)

Should be self-explanatory. Same poll posted in Softail and Dyna forums.

Come on. The impact of my 40 mph transportation on the environment is nearly nothing. Weather it is EPA tuned, or properly tuned. I am not a believer in the idea of Global warming, I am a believer in cycles, that is trends in the weather and the world in large. Think about it, the world has been getting warmer since the ice age, if it didn't my house would still be covered by ice. Enough with the tree hugger bs.

Over the last year I've seen at least a few posts from owners who have had their stage-1 bikes run through an EPA emissions test and passed, so don't assume a modified bike is automatically going to be a big polluter.
