Default Trading in the Sporty for a Honda Rebel!!!!

I'm just kidding guys but man oh man is the gas killing me! I paid 10 bucks to fill my bike!!! This is ridiculous 10 bucks to fill a peanut! I remember filling my cars tank LAST summer and it only cost me 20 bucks on empty. While I'm at it I remember when gas only cost 1.10/gallon and I'm only 25 years old!! Not to bad mouth anyones age but I'm sure I'll hear some "1.10!!! I use to fill my tank, pay with a dime and get change back" comments. But seriously what the hells going on cause at this rate I'm going to consider getting a scooter for work so I can save gas money for the weekends.

The lowestI ever remember it was 50 cents a gallon back in the early 80s when a couple of gas stations had a price war going on. I filled up my Yamaha 650 Maxim and still had change to play Asteroids and Donkey Kong at the arcade across from the High School back in Okiehoma.

Lol and they used to pump for you and cleaned the windshield, checked your oil and tire pressure and put some in if you needed it

I wouldn't give 17 cents for Ethyl but I'd sure as hell give 25 cents for Lucy.

Yep, I remember paying .65 per gallon in the early 80's. We could cruise all night on 5 bucks in my 68 Charger

I'm thinking something like this!!! I figured if I'm going to look gay I might as well do it in style.
