The fans favourite Kevin Schwantz is to ride a 1995 RGV 500 before the
main event but with the crusade against two-strokes by the FIM why are
they allowing this? I still think the change from two-strokes is a
cynical attempt to manipulate motorcycle manufacture that serves
little purpose other than to create heavy motorcycles and the only
victims of this are - wait for it - people who have suffered leg
injuries from motorcycle accidents or who are otherwise disabled and
lacking bodily strength. The shift from the two-stroke by the
mainsteam manufacturers is a self imposed restriction and is not based
on analysis or fact, but it would appear: prejudice. The actual
exhaust quality from an RGV 250 engine might well be of greater
inefficiency than a Toyota Prius but the total volume of car users vs
motorcycle riders and thus absolute pollutant levels from each section
of vehicle users shows us that the non-balancing road users are by far
the greater offenders. Without even bringing in the use of trucks,
boats, trains and planes who's volume use of fuel and occasional gross
inefficiency is almost immeasurably greater than that piffling
minority known as the stink wheel brigade. With the vile
discrimination shown by the FIM and associated manufacturers (the
Japanese do not have a good history of tolerance towards social
inadequacy - its why we went to war with them) Kevin should not ride
at the event presented by the FIM but it would be more advised for him
if he wants to ride, to turn to street riding and their better
representation of the values of history.

**** me - that is an Olympic class rant. Well done. I can just
imagine the spittle flying as you typed it. Did you even draw breath?

BTW - for you information, in many parts of the world powered
two-wheelers outnumber four-wheelers many times over.
