YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

The petition was a load of bollocks anyway. It was wrong, as pointed out on this very forum at the time.

I still think that if the argument for cars is pollution based it shouldn't be changed for bikes - although was that wrong as well do bikes polute a lot?

(I missed the other thread)

To do that I'd imagine that they'd need to start checking emissions during an MOT then. Not going to please many with after market cans.

ahh fair enough, but speaking as someone who has a stock exhaust that a non-biking friend described as a "potatoe canon" I wouldn't mind! Laughing

My 6R had worse mpg as my 2lt Mondeo, so yes I'd say they do.

Is MPG the same as poluting? I would assume that there was a correlation but that is would be more down to effeciency/engine design.

look at 2-strokes for example

MY mondeo had a cat fitted, the bike didn't so I'm assuming it was more polluting.
