EPA paves way for broad emission limits

[Large Filipino]

I still think we are safe here especially those that run the 4 strokes but even the 2 stroke bikes I'm thinking we're still okay simply because no one complains when you cut your lawn when they see us they see a bicycle with an engine you find in back of a landscaping truck.
When people start complaining about your lawnmower putting out a little smoke because your rings are a bit worn or whatever THAT'S when I'll start to worry.
Until then,like Mountain Man puts it so well,I'll just keep riding that thing.

Wow, a naturally occuring gas is a thread to public health? I guess that means all carbonation in soda should also be banned now. Flat coke and sprite is change I can belive in....or will that be taxed to death too under cap and trade?

Yep Skyliner - sounds almost unbelieveable. Its the "too much of a good thing" principle.

Hydrogen Sulphide (Rotten egg gas) is a naturally occuring gas. In high concentration you can't smell it but it kills you.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that rotten egg gas is a good thing... - just using it to illustrate a point

I would like to think that you are right, Large but Happy Valley's comments need to be noted. In October 2008, the EPA finalised its position on dirty 2-strokes and I, for one, would like to see a very lightweight motor-assisted bicycle retained for the future.

Happy Valley - That's a great quote on your signature.
