I suspect that we Californians will have to submit to cataclismic converters
eventually.  The state has been consistently pushing down the hydrocarbon
emissions regulations and now a recent review of previous studies indicates
that lower hydrocarbons by themselves won't do much good -- NOx has got to
go as well.  Another bad development was the Yamaha RZ two stroke, which
"proved" that catalytics can be applied successfully to motorcycles.  It had
been a popular claim that they were too expensive and too dangerous to put on
bikes (gee, sounds like Detroit 10 years ago).
