I'm not sure why it's not PC to say Oriental anymore. Does anyone know? Though, I could have sworn I saw Ramen Noodles that were called "Oriental flavor" a few weeks ago at the grocery store. The whole P.C. movement goes way too far at times, and I'm not sorry to say I'm not upto date with it.

Can't be, since there are cars and bikes that do not have them. Think Wankle rotaries.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking that deep. He said something that cars and streetbikes have that dirtbikes dont...

That means to me two-stoke vs four-stroke.

moto150's posts are quickly gaining popularity, i'd say, 2nd to Vermillions at this point.

What does that say about what TMW subscribers prefer to read?

HHMMMMMmmmm.

I'll let you make your own conclusions.
