No kidding, it costs me about $30 to fill up my car and I only get about 180 miles to the tank. My bike is less then $10 and I get about 120 miles from it. Doing the math, thats 16.6 cents a mile for the car and only 8 cents a mile for the bike. |

"Council spokesman Ty van Hooydonk and other industry leaders expect second-quarter reports, due in July, to show another jump in sales." I don't know if I trust anyone named Ty van Hooydonk... |

"A motorcycle is not a need, it's a want," says Kevin Foster, sales manager at L.A. Cycle Sports. "People are looking for reasons to justify that want, and gas prices do that." I've never had to reason with myself...I almost feel sorry for the people that have to |
