Can you relate to this?

In my home town when I was a kid, you could buy gas for 26 cents a gallon forever, and when we went to Texas, in Gila Bend Arizona they usually had gas wars that would rive it down to 17 cents a gallon. I'm old. It was commonplace to pull in and get full service and ask for a buck or two worths of gas and get you oil check and air in your tires.

I had an uncle that had a station in Texas and if you wanted an oil change there was no labor charge at his station, you just paid for the oil and the filter.

Wow, that's a far cry from today's norm! You can't even get AIR for 17 cents now! lmao

You can still get it for free here that gas station is for the tourists though

Currently, I use about $26 of gas a week traveling to and from work.
With the Burgman, I'm going to estimate that will drop to about $3.51

That's about 90 a month in savings.....

About $1100 a year in savings.....

This bike should pay for itself in just over 2 years!!!

My first date with my wife I drove her all around the local towns on my Kymco Yup 50.

Three months later she bought a Roketa and the rest is history.

Opps...I've just re read my own post.....I'll need about $12 in gas a week not
$3.51 . I guess I hadn't had my coffee yet.

That will save me $56 a month and $672 a year......comparing what it now cost me.

Plus it will be a whole lot more fun traveling to and from work

[scootnwinn]

You just paid for your gear...

While most likely not appropriate for this forum...I will post this pic briefly since I can't email pics to ya. Then I will delete the post. Pic is 3 yo..so now I have less hair....and due to winter my Native Pigment has faded a bit. 145lb man with the mouth and attitude of a 245lb man..
