Default My new beater (40-50 mpg)



www.woracing.com/truck/honda

Traded in my 2003 Kodiak 450 for it, 75 bucks a month out the door. THe way I figure it, in my truck ... a tank a gas a week to 10 adys would be 60 bucks, let's say 50 a week conservatively in gas, if I can NOT fill the truck up but once a month or so, I will have more than paid for the bike AND insurance. This is with gas at 2.15 for regular, just wait til it jumps up another 20 cents.

I couldn't agree more about the Chico address I have listed. I think the local DMV just has a form to fill out with no actual testing to get a license.

I will continue to ride my bicycle when the weather permits because gas mileage of that is GREAT.

I used to ride- until some ghetto *** by the firehouse ran a red from about 1/2 block back and totalled my Buell. I was soo mad, missed 5-1/2 months of work with a broken arm and rehab, it sucked!
I really miss my bike, and am considering getting a new one, but it woul dbe for recreation only, it sucks to commute on one in Chicago, especially in the neighborhoods I work in.
Nice bike, be careful and safe, and way to stick it to big oil!!

Congrats! Nice looking machine.

I cracked a ring putting a cylinder back on my bike. Time to buy some new Wiseco rings. More money.
