A photo of the parking lot at the factory I work. There are both 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. Almost every engine is 125cc or less. Probably not enough cc's for the current average American, but they preform fine for the workers here.

Hello Oilfall,

Cool picture! Looks like about 500 bikes--compare with the acres of real estate required to park 500 cars. Glad to see all the helmets. Covered parking is a smart incentive too.

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
