Yeah , but we're so USED to it , that when it spiked last year , MANY just couldn't afford to drive . I live on noodles a large portion of last year just so I could afford gas to get to work . And my car gets better millage than the bike . At least on the highway .

Last summer it was $90 to fill my car up from dead empty. That's a four door sedan. My truck was $55 @ $2/gallon, and that only lasted about 250 miles.

Yeah dude , it went from taking about $20 to fill my car to over $50 , which would get me back & forth for about 4 days . That , plus my car payment , plus insurance , and like half my check went just to pay for the privilege of driving to work .

I say it's to save $ on fuel, but that's a lie, I just like to ride.

That's the same excuse I use

BTW I had to smile when the 1st bike I spotted after landing at Orlando Int. was a Kat

figured it would have been a gixxer or goldwing...with all the collage kids, and retiree's here...

Welcome home!!

They'd have to cuff me onto the plane to get me to leave the sunshine!!
Welcome back to blighty, Coggs!

[coggs]

I'd like to say its nice to be back but since its rained for the last 2 days and turned so cold I've had to turn the heating back on - its not!!!

GET ME BACK TO 86deg F AND SUNSHINE AND BEACHES AND CHEAP FUEL AND CHEAP FOOD!!!!!
I've started saving for next year already!!

Good deal coggs, next time make it the East Coast a little farther. Savannah Georgia and Charleston South Carolina are beautiful places.

I hope you enjoyed your trip here

[t.c.mitchell]

i ride my kat everyday to work and back, usually fill it up on sunday night and then on thursday evening for a total of about $9

[Zepp]

I save a lot of money just riding my bikes all the time, instead of my truck

We had an exchange student form Germany staying with us for a whie and he couldn't believe that I took the Kat out just for fun. He said they can't afford the gas to do that in Germany. Even when it was $4, he thought that was cheap.
