I agree. It is unprecedented (and stupid), yet he did do it. As far as I know executive orders has been used as a do anything tool, so why would this specific thing cross the line?

Executive orders are a ridiculous and undemocratic notion to begin with, but the US does have them (together with Liberia, Nigeria, the Philippines).

I mean, you can only enforce it in your own jurisdiction, right?

Your country can decide to call Sweden Poop-land, your own localized maps will label it Poop-land, but on swedish maps it will still be called Sverige.

How is the comparison even relevant?
Last time I checked SUVs are required to adhere to speed limits too.

I wasn't arguing about cars vs motorcycles, I was arguing that

the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.

is complete horseshit.

This is some bullshit. A motorcycle may be smaller than a car comparatively but one being hurled at you at highway speeds is still lethal. Both pedestrians and people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day.

of course. I'm alluding to the fact that while theres been a significant improvement, we still in many places consume worrying amounts of lead.

That is still a very worrying sentence when the only safe level is 0

First off I'm Canadian,

Wasn't expecting that

and secondly America isn't, but Minnesota is.
