I'm probably going to get flamed for saying this because it derails the thread even further, but seriously man, do you even KNOW how to properly punctuate a sentence? I counted two periods, three if you count the decimal.

You're going to have a hard time defending yourself and making a point if you force people to actually try to decipher that "electronic chicken scratch" you just posted...

Strn,

Let's not get ahead of ouselves. Plenty of people the world over use two wheels for hauling all kinds of different things. It's completely possible to haul furniture of all sorts from one place to another without the use of a car. The reason that small displacement motorcycles, and other light transport, are not commonplace in the United States is partly due to the point of the view that you raised about motorcycling, or other forms of two wheeled transportation, not being utilitarian.

Also, the distance between most points of destination are much longer than most other countries.

That's true too. Part of the problem is that we built our infrastructure based on that idea. That's why we hold on to our cars so tightly. We feel that we "need" them to get anywhere.

Still, most people, in the states too, live within 10 miles of work. 10 miles is well within range for the average person on a bicycle. A motorcycle just makes it that much faster.

You can haul lots of things on two wheels.
Some examples:




I have also seen a load of fire wood, four 40 pound bags of charcoal, an air compressor, chickens, and hogs.

You could move lots of things you just have to be creative. Knot tying skills would also be of some benifit,
