You have probably heard that oil is not a renewable resource. Some people reckon that oil production peaked in 2007 and stock will decline rapidly from here on out.
A few learned folk even believe that a serious energy crisis will hit us before 2012.

How do you feel about all this? Do you feel tempted to sell your bike and car, buy a Chevy Spark and baton down the hatches?
Are you making plans for a doomsday scenario? Is your bike part of your survival kit?
or do you think Al Gore is a bore




no...this thread is not about the new Tenere that I want to buy ;D ;)
