&nbsp\\;I havent ridin much this yr and the days I could ride are days I need to p/u my children.....and yes Ive thought about a double sidecar for the Glide....
It takes about 4-5 gal of gas to drive my trk to work-daycare and home.
&nbsp\\;
Forgot my&nbsp\\;bikes are paid for so that dosnt factor in when I ride.&nbsp\\;

I have a big run to Texas and back this month on my RK. After that I will use it for commuting. I will also try to start riding my mountain bike to work a couple times a week. The F-150 will sit in the driveway unless the weather is bad.

Try not to worry about things I have no control of.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Income levels will eventually rise to offset the increase in the general cost of living.&nbsp\\; It happened back&nbsp\\;in the 70s when the peanut farmer was president.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Remember the interest rates and gas lines.&nbsp\\;

I will be voting for the candidate that served his country honorably and with great&nbsp\\;courage.&nbsp\\; He's the one&nbsp\\;who can barely raise his arms over his head because of his war injuries.&nbsp\\; You can call him a jerkoff.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I call him an American Hero.

I have a choice between a F250 Ford, a 4wd Yukon or my night train for commuting. As the price of gas goes up the truck &amp\\; Yukon stay&nbsp\\;home more&nbsp\\;

I don't care if gas costs $10/gal, I'm still riding. But I might have to cut back in&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;other places...

Couldn't agree more - mt top ten priorities in life are:

My enjoyment of my bike ahs never been tied to gas prices...&nbsp\\;and won't be now either. Hell, I still love to drive my Camaro (1967 350ci). When I drive it, the price of gas never enters my mind.

With the big price jumps in gas, and the cost of my bike payments, the pleasure in motorcycling is starting to dwindle. How do you guys feel about the future of our best pastime? Im really starting to get sad about the future. Its hard to be an optimist when all the candidates are total jerkoff's. Mike.
Compared to a car, it's still really cheap.

its all part of a larger conspiracy to compress the middle class into the lower class all you free thinking free riding motorcyclists should be taking public transportation instead of forcing the peak oil event to come early and hastening the rising sea levels due to global warming caused by all those bikes running an over rich fuel air mix...
