Not for nothing but shouldn't this subject be in a different forum, like Off Topic?

Yes, riding a motorcycle is suicide. You intend to remove yourself from the gene pool and reduce polution. It definitely counts.

It's not like I want to live forever... :headslap:

You can die crossing the street or eating fried chicken, I'm at least enjoying the journey

For a perspective on why there's so much debate on global warming, I suggest finding a replay of Nova's "Global Dimming" episode.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sun/

also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_dimming

Which shows that a 'dimming' effect has long been taking hold that counterbalanced global warming for many decades. It's only recently that warming has started to overreach the dimming effect...

Hmmm, I have a theory. All the BS in this thread is causing an increase in methane gas. Accelerating the green house effect and causing global warming.

I think soon we will have an answer to two questions.

1) Can we get rid of the sulfur smell coming from the muffler.

and

2) Will I ever be able to increase the gas milage and polute less.

Check out these websites form more details. Granted, these products are more beneficial for diesel engines but they are working on designs for gas engines.

At the same time that I post this I wonder if any of you has more info on these products.

www.chechfi.ca

HyPowerFuel


HydrogenBoost

And if you google hydrogen injection you'll find more websites.
