Richard,

Hm. Interesting, I have 60% the cylinders in my life that you do, but my
SUV should be crushed for scrap while your van and Motorcycle go free?

Context, context! The context was "off-road"! (^BD (Notice the cute
way my little smiley face is wearing his helmet? I'm not sure if it's
his motorcyle helmet or his Gratful Heads, though.)

Jetskis, ATVs, snowmobiles, and SUVs are designed to be used off the
road, where they can destroy the land that has not already bin paved
over. My van, my motorbike, sedans, minivans and station-wagons,
sportscars, trucks and semi-trailers are designed for the road, and my
van and motorbike stay on the road or the shoulder.

My statement was that, in my view, "motors are for the road". The
reason I said "99%" instead of 100% is that there are a few very real
SAR, geological or biological survey, archaeological or
paleontological exploration, law-enforcement, and probably a few other
socially valuable uses for off-road vehicles.

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
