Hang on. You could work out the number of registered bikes as a proportion of the total registered vehicles. Obviously forgetting non-registered offroad bikes here of course, but it would give you a fair idea of the contribution of motorcycles to the petrol levy. Of course, we could also factor in chainsaws, lawnmowers, etc...
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
