Once again, gas prices are beginning to shoot up. As I hear everyone whine and complain about the gas, I just have to sit here and snicker. I know that the majority here are probably getting 40-50mpg, but I'm getting in the neighborhood of 70+mpg. I just have to laugh.
The sadistic side of me kicks in an I can't help but to think to myself that this is a great way to punish people who are "Keeping up with the Jones" and have to get the latest and greatest gas guzzler of the century thus-far. So for people toting around in SUVs with just one person inside, this is for you. Get a motorcycle, join our ranks, and enjoy saving tons of money on insurance, gas, and money to purchase an actual vehicle.
For those individuals that actually need to have an SUV (large families, or you tote an amazing amount of stuff around with you) then you can disregard my "hate" post.
Also, you would think that the American Government that is handing out tax deductions for electric/gas car hybrids would get their act together and give a tax discount to those individuals who put over 10,000 miles a year on their motorcycles. I'd be all about that.
But for now, whenever I see an SUV filling up at the gas station, I'm going to laugh. Heck, I might even pull in right behind one, fill up, and then loudly "complain" that my motorcycle gets 70+ mpg and that these gas prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!
