Yeah, gas just went up from $4.27 (91 octane) to $4.37 here in Cali. It makes me love my bike that much more since I get between 12-17mpg in my 2007 Nissan Titan. I get around 40-42 mpg on the Ultra.

on my way home a few minutes ago, listening to the radio on the Ultra they were talking about gas going between 10 and 12 dollars a gallon by 2010. maybe I need a motorized skate board or something similar.

Saying you were taking the bike to save gas used to be bullshit.

Not anymore, at these prices!

I think we've been spoiled for too long with cheap gas prices.....I think we can put that in the history folder.....unfortunatly cheap gas is a thing of the past....I guess I'll have to move south....so I can ride year round!
