It's cost will just increase and increase.

In many ways I look foward to that stage. Cars are noisey, pollouting and cripple the natural world.

The Dogma Of Doom allows for no such eventuality. Zombies hijacking fuel trucks comes to mind, as people's lives spin out of their control and they are forced to do what they must.
So you, sitting in your comfortable suburbia, will never see the fuel if it doesn't make it to your local gas station. Same with food.Chris25 wrote:There will be a stage where running a car will not be possible unless you are extremely rich.

Look forward and welcome the Doom!! And no, when supplies stop, it won't matter how much money you have to buy it with.

That's the thing. Motorcycles are great fun. My Kawasaki KLR650 was a great hooligan ride. I could jump curbs to avoid red lights, park anywhere, and split lanes to surf traffic.
I just don't want people to look a few variables like mpg and purchase price and promote the myth that motorcycles are financially better for transportation when they are not.
