I still can't believe insurance is that much for you. Move to Michigan!

 

It cost me $6.50 to fill up my motorcycle tank this morning..... what a scam... Couple days on the bike to and from work makes a huge difference in the amount of gas that otherwise gets dumped out my Maggie exhaust on the truck. Some may say, wait, you spent all that money on a bike now that gas prices are high?? No, I've had it since '00, when gas was cheap (at least to my generation). It's paid for, costs me $140 a year to insure w/ full coverage, and better yet, I enjoy riding as much as I like my truck. MY truck gets exclusive use in the winter, it's all aout sharing...

 

Exactly... I just got into bikes last year and not due to gas prices. The savings at the pump are a great benefit but the smile on my face and the enjoyable commute are priceless. I rode most of the winter, and the truck was so neglected I traded it in before it started to break down in jealousy.

 

If it wasnt for the BS insurance rates it would cost me a few bucks a day for gas to go to work instead of the $40 it costs me every three days with the truck.

If I was to put the bike back on the road my insurance costs would triple, and Id still be using the truck on my days off anyways to haul the boat.

I remember The Day Bush Jr. took office. $1.47/ Gallon National Average.

 

Fall of 2001 with my first car I was paying $1.83, sure miss those days

 

In 98 when I graduated high school I was paying $0.89 and it took all of $35.00 to fuel up my 94. Those were the good ole days.....

Now over $110 to fuel up either of the trucks, I really want the good ole days back!!!

 

I had 1/8th of a tank left and I paid $79 dollars for my fillup and I feel lucky.

 

I remember that day as well. I was unemployed and drunk every day. Now I make phat cash and have a chitload of toys, a stable and awesome job. Thanks G Dub! Dubya in '08!!!!!!

 

Freak!!

 

If i was worried about fuel mileage i would buy a beater bike. in fact if i find a good deal I'll buy one just for commuting on.
Right now I'm saving a bunch by riding my bike but, i ride it mainly on the weekends and evenings.

 

Hell, i remember when a pack of smokes were that much.......!!!!!!

 

After converting everything, I paid
$5.08 a gallon this morning for Shell V-Power 91 octane. ($1.21 CND per Liter)
The May 24 long week-end is upon us, so the fawkers jacked it up again right in time for everyone to leave town.

I get more klicks from Shell 91 than any other brand up here, including Sunoco 94 which contains ethonal(sp) and costs more.

You should, $151 to fill both tanks and the back wasnt even empty

 

But your back pocket sure was.
