I makes them feel like their big vehicle doesn't pollute at all so they can drive and drive and drive, and have a clear conscious about it. They don't want to get rid of or down size their "precious SUV" so they will rag on something else, motorcycles, to get other people to turn their attention to them instead of the big bulky gas guzzlin four wheeled destroyer. I find it weird that people say motorcycles are dangerous and kill people. If a motorcycle gets into a wreck, at the most 2 people can get killed. Yes it is possible. If they do, everyone in the county will hear about it and decades latter someone might say, I wouldn't ride motorcycles because many years ago I knew this couple that rode, got into an accident and died. But if a whole family in a minivan gets into a wreck and dies, including children, no one knows them the next day, and will still purchase a minivan of there own. Because it "gets good gas mileage".

Bikers don't run air conditioners and sit with the engine idling at drive-up windows. Commuting time is generally less too, meaning less fuel burned. Bikes pollute more but overall burn less gas. I've heard that one gallon of gas adds 5 lbs. of carbon into the atmosphere. I've curtailed recreational riding and am a full-time, year round commuter and I ride with a clear conscious.
