I've decided to save the R1 for the weekends only. now that gas prices are finally under $3.00 a gallon, I put my truck back in service. now maybe a set of tires will last an entire season!!! looks like you win Rob:bow:
such a sad day...how far is the commute? Why give up the bike? Even at 2.99 a gallon, it's still cheaper to ride. Or maybe seasonal now?
Commute on the bike when it's warm? You're in Cali for goodness sakes!
It was 35 degrees this morning (so said the temp gauge in the car in front of me) and I'm still riding.
52 miles one way. it's not really the mileage, it's that riding the 10 freeway is freaking boring unless I'm blitzing traffic at triple digits. not to mention the freeway is so jacked up (expansion joints & such) all I will end up doing is cupping the crap out of my tires. speaking of, if you figure in the pair of tires I'd have to buy every other month the difference between the truck and bike is smaller yet. and as J said I don't want to wear it out commuting. I've only owned it 4 months and have 8400+ miles on it, and sadly about 7000 miles of that is on the super slab commuting.
I miss the fuel efficiency of the FZ6should have got an FZ6
I'm not saving any money on gas riding the FZ to work, as I always seem to stray into too many detours on the way home.
The last one went thru Wyoming.
LMAO:rof::rof:should have got an FZ6
yea, I save $87 a month by riding everywhere instead of driving my Jeep. Based on 600 miles a month between commutting and traveling.
Jeep: 600 miles/ 15mpg = 40 gal of fuel * $3.2/gal = $128
FZ6: 600 miles/ 45mpg = 13 gal of fuel * $3.2/gal = $41
Savings: $87
I think I did my math right. Well, at any rate, at my paycheck, that's a good chunk of change. That's THREE weeks of groceries right there.
