Is owning a motorcycle considered a high standard of living?

6

President Obama sent all Americans a message that we must make sacrifices and lower our standard of living to 1/3 to 1/2, for example we don’t need to waste energy on air conditioning and gas guzzling SUV’s.
So do we need to own and ride motorcycles?
I understand motorcycles save gasoline, but mostly we ride for pleasure.
I want to save the planet and do my part to sacrifice cause we are only 3% of the worlds population but we use 40% of the worlds energy.
I own 2 motorcycles, should I sell them?
If I would sell my bikes, would’nt the buyer be riding them instead of me?
I already owned the bikes before the world and the U.S. went into a crisis so i’m not guilty, only new owners and buyers are guilty?

No, you should not sell them. Who are the government to tell you what you can spend your money on?

On the other hand, you are corret when you say the US uses all that energy, especially when Bush refused to sign up to treaties designed to cut down on omissions and such like.

It’s a personal choice but if you have a car as well, do you really need that and 2 motorbikes?

First you should learn to ride them. From previous posts you don’t seem to know how to ride and socialize with other riders. Obamas call for sacrifice? **** got bounced for telling truth last time about Liebural Dems and Obama***. The current economic crisis was not from people buying motorcycles and riding them- Maybe home equity loans for bike financing, but that isn’t ‘buying’- so keep the bikes, probably need them when gas tax goes up like Englands to pay for promised ‘change’.

You should sell yours. You get more pleasure out of a keyboard than a motorbike.
Lower my standard of living?
Any lower puts me below the poverty line and gets me all sorts of benefits that would raise it higher than it ever was before.
I’d like to have free food, free rent, free heating oil…

I don’t ride purely for pleasure, or to save gasoline.
It’s the way I choose to travel.
Simplicity personified…..
Only moving one butt, only need one seat.
Can’t ride a unicycle, need at least two wheels. Do not need more.

The message Obama sent everyone was that it’s ok to fuckup your finances – you’ll get bailed.
The message he sent me was that I was a sucker for not being stupid, and now I get to pay for all those that were.

No you shouldn’t sell them. In the spirit of true liberalism….they should be taken from you and given to someone less fortunate.

Obama, Mussolini, whichever socialist you prefer to listen to… doesn’t matter

Lower my standard of living. That is hard to take from a person living off of government handouts in the white house.Owning a motorcycle is not considered a high standard of living, unless you are an owner for an Arlen Ness Special.
