2013, Day 147 - Motoring

Why is it that we see so few motorbikes in this country?  Every day you see people driving around by themselves in huge vehicles that are eagerly guzzling down fuel but when you visit SE Asia most people travel on motorbikes and borrow or hire cars when necessary.  Granted they don't make runs to Costco to fill their fallout shelter but it just seems so efficient and that efficiency is elegant.  Maybe I should get a motorcycle license, for as much good as it will do me in the waterlogged state that is Oregon...
