'MythBusters' asks: Are motorcycles greener than cars?

Due to the raise of gas prices, and belief that motorbikes are more Eco-friendly than cars, many people are switching to use 2 wheelers for their transportation. Although Some people really should not ride motorbikes since it requires more skill than driving a cage. Also you get hurt more when you wreck. Anyway MythBusters from Discovery channel decided to test if motorbikes were indeed Eco-friendlier than cars.

CW sold to Bonnier Corp.

Cycle World has been one of the leading motorcycle mags for decades. I guess all the mags, newspaper industries are dying like prostitutes' soul.
You can subscribed the mag for 8 bucks a year and if you happened to be a loyal repeated subscriber, you get even better deals and I always wondered how the heck they were surviving. Given that roughly 50% of contains are advertisement, just like any mags.
Anyway, Hearst Corporation has sold Cycle World to Bonnier Corporation, owners of Popular Science and Field and Stream magazines, among others. According to the press release, they are gonna keep the current staff.
