Long time no blog. . .
Here's another article to comment on eventually:

It's about noisy motorcycles.
Interesting passage:
RICK GRAY, a 58-year-old lawyer from Lancaster, Pa., owns 13 motorcycles, rides 20,000 to 35,000 miles a year and is chairman of the American Motorcyclist Association. "Too many people tell me, `I hate motorcycles because they're too loud,' " he said. "This hurts us in other areas, like when we want to lobby for fairer insurance policies."
He fears worse consequences. "If we don't recognize we're a distinct minority in a world growing more environmentally concerned — and that means noise, too," he said, "we'll become an anachronism."
