Isn't that as much the difficulty of using the chosen enforcement
system on motorbikes as any wish to encourage them?

A motorcycle can carry as much luggage as a small car, and 2 people, in
1/4 the road space.

Thus 4 motorcycles, carrying a minimum of 4 people, can fit in the same
space as 1 car.

If they were part of a motorcycle display team, perhaps...

Nothing wrong with cutting down on congestion,though in other cities what
has worked is occupancy within the cars.What they do is that they have
cameras (similar to the speed cameras here) that take a picture of the
car,and within certain hours of the day (7am-7pm) any car that has more
than
2 seats (ie Smart Cars would be exempt for example) that have les than 3
passengers are ticketed/fined/sent a bill for carrying less than the
alloted
3 passengers with the exception of motorcycles,cabs,commercial vehicles
(read in delivery vans/company vehicles on call/or applied for exemption)
or
similar types of vehicles.Seems to me that would work equally as well in
reducing the congestion within London.Just a thought of what I've seen
work
elsewhere.

And how many bikes (aside from those with sidecars) have you seen that carry
more than 2 people?

I've been one of 20 people on a bicycle made for 20. Owned by Hares
back in the 1970s. Actually it had a sidecar for a brakeman.

Actually, couldn't it work both ways? ****ing close to water does sound
more straight forward, but close to ****ing water sounds more like the Viz
profanisaurus entries you read - one slip and ****ing water is all you'll be
doing? Perhaps that would apply more to sex on a raft? Hmm - need to think
about this one.

Geez,I thought that was American beer where thier STRONG beer is still only
4% (light beer by British or Canadian standards) and light beer is only
2-3%.....Near-beer by anyone's standards!
