Am I the only one who listened to Andrew Short's response in horror? The difference between 2-strokes and 4-strokes is that 4-strokes are loud & 2-strokes sound cool? Geez. -Yo >> Stay informed about: Houston - Suzuki Question of the Week

> That horrified you? Yea, it did (& does). It horrified me because, to me, it seemed to be a statement that viewers would be unable to understand a "real" explanation. Maybe I'm just hyper-sensitive to the "ignorance is cool" point of view right now. The quarter will be over in four weeks, maybe I'll be better then...

If you think that Short really knows the difference, then it was kind of funny.

I still don't understand. "ignorance is cool"? Are you afraid viewers will believe that four strokes are loud and therefore a nuisance? .....no wonder I had so much trouble in school.... this discussion makes no sense to me.
