Why is the EPA being so hard on motorcycles? They aren't exactly 'gas guzzlers' .. I mean why not go after weed wackers, lawn mowers, generators and everything else that burns fuel? I'm a bit confused about it..
The shows on tomorrow as well.

As far as the EPA stuff, from what I've read, motorcycles pollute more per km on average then a modern car. Not more per litre of fuel burned, but for actual km driven. Also, they (may not be EPA I don't recall) are going after others too, equipment such as excavators and loaders and so on are getting cracked down on from what I understand.

Now to be technical does Canada have an EPA? Is it the same name for the agency here as in the USA?
