Great, you can come over and suck my dick, IQ60.
Careful what you ask for because he might do it...but only in your closet.

Obviously some do. That is why this thread got started.
When I was younger I rode motorcycles for almost 25 years.
I used to only ride one make of bike, namely Laverdas. They were big hand - assembled Italian jobs.
The Laverda factory's best-selling models were its 1000cc triple - cylinder motorcycles. One of these was called the Jota which was "tuned" (the standard engine was specially modified with high-compression pistons and higher-profile cams).
When I was living in England I bought a Jota and trust me the experience of riding it was better than sex.
The grunt of the motor was amazing- opening the throttle up fast would just about pull your arms out of their sockets, then there was the sound of the bike, which was this off-beat, baritone howl that got your adrenalin flowing.. Also, you could feel the bike working through the vibrations from the big motor as you were riding it (changing into different gears, easing off/twist on the throttle); then after you'd been riding the Jota hard for a while you would become enveloped in the gasoline-oil smells rising from the engine. So in sum it was pure fun and pure excitement - all of your senses were working overtime: visual, tactile, audition, smell.
Anyway, lots of guy (and some girls too) absolutely love riding motorcycles. A tremendous amount of what makes motorcycles popular (especially the bigger one) is that they are powered by gasoline engines. I can't imagine what riding an ELECTRIC motorcycle would be like. I suspect it would be a very bland and uninspiring experience, like having sex with 3 condoms on as opposed to none). An electric motorcycle would be as tedious, lifeless, and poe-faced as a politically correct American Liberal.
Passing legislation that would eventually outlaw gasoline motorcycles would kill the joy and exhilaration that 1000s and 1000s of bikers in America experience every day. I don't think bikers in the US will allow GND wankers to take their gas engines off them without a serious fight.
And do you know what REALLY gives me the shits about all this "Green New Deal" palava? I'll tell you... THERE IS NO GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS. THERE IS NO EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO HUMANITY FROM CLIMATE CHANGE. THAT IS WHAT THE REAL, HARD, EMPIRICAL SCIENCE SAYS If you don't believe me, I'll you show were to find the proof on the internet. Just ask.

NEW RESEARCH REVEALS ‘SHOCKING’ INFORMATION ABOUT EVERYDAY LAWN EQUIPMENT: ‘IT’S REALLY COUNTERINTUITIVE’
“Battery technology has come a long way.”

The old adage, “big things come in small packages,” unfortunately holds true for engine pollution.*
Research reported on by Grist found that lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and weed eaters can produce more air pollution than much larger, gas-guzzling vehicles —*even more than entire cities.*
“[This] really inefficient engine technology is, pound for pound, more polluting than the cars and trucks,” clean air advocate Kirsten Schatz, with nonprofit Colorado PIRG, said to Grist. She is also the lead author of a report that referenced data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
“Outdoor equipment generates a pretty shocking amount of pollution,” she said.*
What’s happening?*
The data on our yard machines is clear and includes a variety of pollutants. The equipment produced more than 68,000 tons of “smog-forming” air pollution, according to 2020 EPA data. Grist noted that dirty air output is about the same as running 30 million gas cars.*
Further, in 2020, the machines produced 30 million tons of air pollution, contributing to planet overheating. That’s more than Los Angeles makes, per Grist.*
As an everyday example, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services reports that an hour of running a new gasoline lawn mower pumps out the same amount of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide air pollution as driving a new car for 45 miles.*
Well, if you like the sound of a sewing machine, an electric bike is for you...
Like I care or my landscapers care... Only those who are scientific illiterates, like you, care. Now, that said, I do have a plug-in electric lawnmower, but only because I know from experience it's far easier for me to maintain and keep in running condition than a gas-powered model. That's why I got it, not to virtue signal or save the planet.
Only an idiot with inadequacy issues would buy a car for the way it 'sounds'. EV owners care about they way it DRIVES and it blows by gas cars all day long.
I rest my case.

Just because YOU don't care about something like that doesn't mean somebody else feels the same way. People have varied reasons for buying the vehicle they do. I need a pickup truck for stuff I do, so I buy a pickup truck. An EV won't work for me, so I'm not going to buy an EV. Some people want a loud rumbling V8 powered car. More power to them if that's what they want.
Only a whiny inadequate Leftist like you would snivel about other people's car choices.
If I were a full time professional landscaper with a business, I'd be using nothing but gasoline powered tools. They can run all day, everyday reliably and don't need constant charging like battery tools. I can't expect customers to provide electricity to me either, while gasoline is portable.
You mean your "friends", Terry, IBDaMann and gfm7175?
Awesome that you agree your "friends" reported me, Sybil.These are some who I have known to report you, yes. So have I. So have others not on this list.

Li-ion batteries were developed in the mid 1980's. That was the last major battery technology advance...some 40 years ago.“Battery technology has come a long way.”

IQ60 is just another weak, pathetic MAGA moron who needs Trump to do the thinking for him because he's too lazy to do it himself.
Where? I have seen no soiled diapers relevantly related to this rather innocuous announcement that a hybrid car (not electric) got car of the year from a magazine that now reaches almost 400,000 readers...
Awesome that you agree your "friends" reported me, Sybil.
Sybil didn't report you.
How do you know? Are you reading minds again?
