Actually, you are, aren't you? Enlighten us with your MPG numbers
and
carrying capacity.

If you think that somebody who rides a motorcycle in the winter in New
England is "consuming excessively" then you really, really do have a
screw loose.

Since you decline to provide the numbers, let me guess. 40 - 45 MPG
maybe? Or am I too high? The SUV with two or three aboard is
actually a bit more effcient, no? Now, how about the 2.2 liter car
with two or three aboard? Oh, wait - you always have a passenger on
your motorcycle, right?

I'm not objecting to your gasoline consumption. Not at all. What I
am objecting to is your implication that, by riding a 650 cc
motorcycle rather than driving a car, you are more efficient than
others. You're not.

In the winter in New England.... please tell me again who has the
screw loose.

Two frozen rubber wheels on black ice...now THAT is efficient.
