Substituting bike for truck/car everytime it can possibly work. More so than ever since it now represents a serious savings as well as having a ride.

F-no. I clocked off more than 2500 miles in the last month. I take it everywhere. 75 Mile round trip to work everyday, short trip for errands, date night with the wife, anytime I dont need a trunk. Its crazy what you can fit in the saddlebags. At 43 MPG its a no brainer. Frankly I laugh everytime I fill up for 14.00 with the SUV next to me clocking off 75.00 and probably will only get about 80 extra miles over what I get.

Let the prices rise, hopefully it will force all the owners of the expeditions and excursions and suburbans to park them so I dont have to worry about being run over by one.

yes, and no. I am riding the bike more than driving my truck, but going on less joy rides, more or less just using the bike every chance i get instead of my truck
