Just live and let RIDE. Even with higher fuel prices, there is nothing that can compare with riding the scoot.

Hey Baffler1, I'm right with ya, here in Chicago its close to the same, I hear that we are winning the highest gas price award... WOO HOO!!! But either way like others have said, its always better to be riding than driving!!!

$176 to fill my diesel pickup.

If I were able to work from my bike you bet your a$$ I would be.

I pay very close attention to my schedule now as everything has to be in-route or I'm not stopping. Free estimates are phone estimates only now.

Not much sense in getting too wacked out about a situation you can't control or change. The rest of us don't much care for it either, you may as well figure right now , your buying cheap gas, its still going up and the reports I read say $5.00 a gallon this summer.......While its not easy on you , me or 4-5 other people on here, think about a lot of definately needy older people that have to choose between food , medicine to live and now gas to get to the doctors etc., ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
