Fuel prices are crazy, but it makes my bike more justifiable. I've thought it out. My FXD (right off the showroom floor) cost less to buy than a new economy car, gets better gas mileage, and the insurance is less. If you're environmentally inclined, I'm making a smaller carbon footprint. I'm practically saving the planet here (yeah right)

My Harley has gone from guilt inducing luxury item, to fuel sipping budget saver. It's cheap, reliable transportation in todays downward spiraling economy.

Now I'm trying to figure out a way to turn my underwater house into an asset..
