what do you think about banning motorcycles?...would u support it?...?

Question

i think there is more benefit if we ban it(motorcycle),compared to the downside...e.g.poorer people cannot get to work fast...but the production of bicycle will increase......therefore,the amount of deadly gas in vehicles can be minimalized

Answer 1

HEY... NOBODY LIKES BANNERS

Answer 2

If you think that banning motorcycles will minimize gas consumption you are mistaken. We are accustomed to traveling, many times farther than we are capable on a bicycle. Banning motorcycles will only mean the use of cars and the consumption of more gas. Beside this, if you expect bicycle use to rise then you will also see a rise in the production of the gas engines that attach to the bicycle. These are consumers of gasoline but since they are not considered automobiles they do not fall under our current emissions control standards so they are worse for our environment than cars and motorcycles. Motorcycles on the road are not the problems, if more people rode motorcycles we would cut the consumption of gasoline and the people will become more alert to motorcyclist on the road. I personally believe motorcycle awareness training should be mandatory for all drivers applying for their license whether they plan to ride or not. Strick laws concerning hitting or killing a motorcyclist by negligence would make people look twice before pulling out and make it safe for all of us on the roads.

Answer 3

Ban motorcycles? Do you really believe that banning motorcycles with increase bicycle production? People who ride motorcycles wouldn't switch to bicycles. And as far as deadly gas mose cars are driven far more of ten than cars and don't put out as much "deadly gas" as trains, planes, the space shuttle, semi trucks, Why not just ban all motor vehicles.

Answer 4

The following are conservative estimates:
#1 - There are 20 cars to 1 motorcycle sold in the US.
#2 - An average car gets 1/2 the MPG of an average motorcycle.
#3 - If you ban the bike, you must also ban the auto.

The bottom line is motorcycles aren't the problem.

Answer 5

Ban cars and trucks first...far less efficient and produce way higher ammounts of pullution. If everyone rode motorcycles and there were no cars or trucks...the CO2 emmissions coming from transportation would drop by over 50%. As for bicycles...they were great when I was a kid and had no other way of getting around...but when I go to work tommorow (which is a 35 mile commute) I will be driving...after all Im not Lance F***ing Armstrong.

Answer 6

how about banning fuel hungry jet aircraft instead? with those, it isnt gallons per hour, it's more like gallons per minute. there's almost 190,000 gallons of fuel in a typical jet airliner. fuel wise, propeller or turboprops would be more efficient, but they're much slower.
i'm much more fond of permanently banning those convicted of drunk driving....1 year suspension for 1st offense with no injury, but a permanent ban if it causes an injury, and permanent ban if picked up on 2nd offense.
make driving and cell phone use a primary offense like speed instead...they kill almost as many as drunks.

ban the 1000 and 1200cc sport bikes for street use...they're for the track, not the street. make it manditory that the only way to get a 600cc or higher sport bike, u have to put in at very least, 1 full season of riding on either a 250 or 500cc. maybe that will keep noobs from getting killed within a month of riding.

be careful of where u swing the 'ban hammer' cause there's more things others would prefer to see gone than just bikes...like, the sale of big suv's like the hummer or suburban.

Answer 7

How do you go to work?
In some places, the people with less money use motorcycles for transportation because it's what they can afford. I take it that's where you are from.
In other places, people with money to spend are the ones who own motorcycles. They are the people answering your question.
I think you might have enough money not to be forced to ride a motorcycle as your only transport. Would you really consider taking away something so important in another's life, just to make yourself feel better? I hope not.
Why would poor people ride motorcycles? Because they are efficient.

Answer 8

no I think motorcycles are fine

I think more people should drive them because it saves on gas. On top of that motorcycles can stop quicker than cars. So this prevents less accidents. On the other hand an accident on a motorcycle can turn out bad for the motorcycle.

Answer 9

That's a stupid question to ask in the motorcycle question section. Why not ban people who drive big, gas sucking, SUV's by themselves My bike gets 40 plus MPG. How many SUV's do that? Or any car for that matter.

Answer 10

You are dumb...you should be saying vehicles should be banned. My motorcycle gets something like 65MPG and my SUV gets 19MPG, so I should have my motorcycle taken away so that I have to drive my SUV everyday??? We can't all ride bikes, it would take forever to get anywhere. I also live in Florida where there are hurricanes and gas shortages that follow so my motorcycle helps to conserve our natural resources you dumb a$$. Sometimes I think people like you post this dumb crap for attention.

Answer 11

While we ban the motorcycle, maybe we should give some thought to banning the lawn mower, weed eater, snow blower, generators, chainsaws, tillers, aircraft, boats/ships etc. The amount of "deadly gasses" will decrease substantially while your standard of living will decrease proportionately
