I've considered it... and I don't see the point. It's selfish not to tell people about our riches here at MBc. Seems like most people just want to keep their unique status of MB rider, and they wouldn't be as happy with the lack of looks from everybody else riding one.
Publicity to MBs has come in newspapers, TV news, the Internet, & almost every state that has enacted legislation regarding MBs has been exactly what we want... and MBc is still alive and kicking.
What was it, like 75% of fuel in this country was used for transporting the average Joe in his sedan, motorcycle, or Hummer?? We could easily cut that in half, ensuring that we have enough petroleum to last us past the "coal energy conversion" time which is bound to happen when we eventually switch to electric or hydrogen vehicles. That's the only practical source of energy for vehicles right now other than petroleum! We are going to run out of petroleum sometime in the next 100 years, I'll bet... even with everybody switching to EVs or hydrogen fuel cells in the next 20 years, which is still not that likely. People will always need petroleum for airplanes, diesel to transport our food and other products into cities and elsewhere, trading products with other countries, lubricating engines & generators, wd-40 & pb blaster, heating oils, shingles, asphalt, plastics, and more!!! With other countries catching up with us, we can't expect to keep consuming the world's oil at the rate we're using it right now. We need to be saving all the petroleum we can, because it's gonna be extremely hard for any human society to continue without it.
But right, we should just wait for others who don't even know about MBs to find an obscure website on the Interwebz. Good plan, guys. The economy is hurting so bad from transportation costs... we can't buy much more than food and other utilities which have also gone up due to rising fuel costs. Our country is so obese, and we don't want to change that?? More people are taking anti-depressents and anti-anxiety medicine, when all they really need is to get outside and let the wind blow thru their hair. Everybody would benefit from an MB, mostly directly but also indirectly as well... FACT!!
I'm failing to see who it is we don't want to find out about MBs... give me a hint. The Law?!? NY is the only state that is anti-MBs. We also know that 99% of the cops we encounter are actually very intrigued with our MBs, and the cops here who could define my MB as a motorcycle actually turn their heads so long as I'm being safe. Only people we shouldn't want to find out about MBs are the oil companies and motorcycle/moped manufacturers, who wouldn't like us cutting into their profits one bit.
Besides those taking a profit hit, really... who else shouldn't know about MBs??
What evidence do you guys have that publicity is a bad thing for us?
