This lady is a total airhead. And besides that, her idiotic column is seen every day by thousands of people. But this article tops the list. I read a column in streetbike magazine (I believe) about this lady and decided to check it out for myself. Turns out this lady needs a swift kick in the ass and sent back to the beauty magazine she came from.

"Long story short: Motorcycles, even small ones, are more polluting than Hummers, but it's the best that can be done for now. If you want to make a difference, consider an electric two-wheeler for your next bike or a gas-powered model with fuel injection and a 3-way catalytic converter."

nice

A flock of sheep will keep her grass cut but they pollute the environment more than a lawn mower.

So if the car gets LOUSY mileage,burns inefficiently,with 6-8 cylinders as opposed to 1,2 or 4 cylinders-we're supposed to believe that the motorcycle is polluting the atmosphere MORE?Just how does that work?(not to mention the ratio between cars and bikes on the road).So my Ninja is gonna pollute more than her Hummer for the same amount of miles driven?(yep,LA TIMES alright).So let me get this straight then-Both engines are running 91 octane.Both are fuel injected.I'm burning less gas per mile than the Hummer.Yet MY pollutants(running through the catalytic converter)just like the Hummer's, are MORE? I wasn't aware that the motorcycle is running some "special" blend that creates more pollutants.Hmmmmm-who woulda thought?Maybe I missed something here?(she did quantify though by saying"get a fuel injected model with a three way cat")So then THAT model DOES NOT POLLUTE MORE?She left that part convieniently OUT,except as a "passing remark".Is Susan Carpenter THE Throttle Jockey?Or is that the name of the smear story.

she has a column in which she states her ridiculous opinion on a monthly basis
