I grew up in a trailer park, wearing my older brother’s BDUs and playing war, first with toy guns and later with BB guns.
So, this Octogenarian will probably never ride an EGO dirt bike – but still thinks it’s cool. By most accounts of history, I think we find that change is fairly constant – sometimes slow – sometimes rapid with aspects that can be both good and less so. I repeat this story only to point out that every generation may think that that many aspects of their thinking and experiences are the best. The uncle never returned from his boat ride the nephew went on to be one of the major persecutors of Christians. This was October in 79AD when what was going on was the eruption of Mt. He supposedly derided his nephew for not wanting to take a boat ride with him over to Herculaneum to see what was going on. It was said that he chided his nephew about him and his peers no longer having any sense of curiosity or adventure. Pliny the Elder (the ancient Roman) was reportedly having said to his nephew (Pliny the Younger) that he was not sure what the young generations was coming to. But what we wouldn’t have given for a dirt bike of any sort. I thought that building “racers” using scrap wood and roller skates or baby carriage wheels with my friends was great. it is a lament of old age that includes thinking that everything in a bygone era was better. While many aspects of my youth in the 40’s and early ’50’s were good. Only in Science Fiction is there a possibility of going back to those lost days of yore. Once production of new vehicles is prohibited, then through attrition, ICE’s will become less and less, till there are insignificant numbers.Ī complete ban would be difficult to impose as the collectors of vintage & antique vehicles are many, and these vehicles are a big part of our legacy…and too small a number to cause problems.īut somewhere down the line, they WILL replace gas vehicles. Much further down the line, they could possibly ban existing ICE vehicles, although this is a possibility, probably not likely. Probably motor bikes first, then cars, and maybe commercial vehicles last. It could be 10, 15, or 20 years, or more, but at some point, production of new ICS vehicles will prohibited. There are already many jurisdictions that have bans on 2 stroke motors. “Electric is not replacing gas vehicles but it is a great alternative!”…this may be true for now, but as the electric cars and bikes proliferate, and the worries over pollutants & green house gases continue to grow, they will replace gas.
