I ride my bike to work whenever I can, because in my Tahoe it's 2+ gallons a day where with the bike it's not even 1/2 gallon...saves me at least $6 a day, $30 for the whole week.

Bike will pay it self off in no time. Anyone wanna buy a nice Tahoe? lol
LOL... I have an 06 with 20's and only 13k milesPAID FORsitting in my dads workshop with a cover on it... My dad says he has been trying to sell it, but i think he is waiting for me to offer it my lil brothe cheap. lol.. Before igotall my gas paidfor, it was running me $70-$90 to fill it up. Thats why i left it in OK..

Oh and BTW i will never ever buy a new car again! EVER! lesson learned.

Cars are the worst investment of all time.. unless its a collector, ect.....

ive been riding to class everyday for the passed two weeks, and a littl ebit before that a few times.
its awesome, especially since my truck gets 11 mpg. ive used less money going back and forth to school in the last three weeks than i usually use in one week in the truck lol.

I've done the math--I save about $300 a month by riding to work instead of driving. Ask what I'm taking today?

Yeah the bugs are out now later in the day. I have to clean the visor and front of the bike like twice a night ERRR!!! Rideing the bike is costing me more in gas then the car LOL I rode 88 miles yesterday. Work is 27 mile one way.

I like the coffee holder idea, but I have a NANA seat with a targa solo cowl over it so that would not work for me.

+1! I bought the OL a 2004 Escape, loaded, 5 months old, 5k mileage for $10,000 off list, including full factory warranty. Buying new sucks!

I try to ride to work everyday that its nots below 30, and not raining...I have a 42 mile ride to work, and 42 miles back....but its basically all Interstate[:'(]

I would rather be riding my bike then in the cage listening to music, or drinking coffe on the way there...

I love to ride, and I havent rode since November, My bike wouldnt start in March, and havent had the money until now to get it fixed. So when I get it back I'm putting some miles on her Plus I got a new helmet I havent even got to try out yet...

I tend to ride the bike kinda hard and my car is small. The car takes 87 and the bike takes 93. Last night I paid $3.79 for 93 and 87 was like $3.35 or something. When i ride the bike to work I don't just go home and park it-I go out riding with the guys too so it adds up quick. Like i said I rode 88 miles yesterday and will ride more then that today.

I just got some good ear buds to go with my new phone so i will have tunes from now on for the ride.
