Did older motorcycles not need to be warmed up?
Monday, July 21st, 2008sminthian1980 asked:
My dad used to ride motorcycles back in the 70’s. He likes to ride my 2002 Shadow around a little sometimes, but he starts it up and tries to move 5 seconds later and it stalls and then he gets mad. And every time I have to re-explain to him to let it warm up for a few minutes before he takes it out. Could you just immediately drive off with older motorcycles?
Mine doesn’t have fuel injection, it has a carburetor and a choke like the old ones.

Why don’t they just ban motorcycles altogeather in the name of soceital responsibility?

So they can save on medical costs associated with crashes, insurance, use of emergency personnel, backing up traffic, etc. Earlier I asked if people agree with the state making seatbelts mandatory and most people agreed with it even though there was no real direct hurting of another person by not wearing one (people felt it would cause more injury and death and indirect societal costs by making it optional) so the question is why would those same people not be in favor of banning motorcycles altogeather using the same logic (at what point does personal liberty become more important than societal responsibility and what criteria do we use to determine that?
