thanks for reminding me, I was going to see if competition 91 at Laguna Seca is still $4.50. I said a while back if gas got to $4.50 and Laguna Seca stayed the same, I'd just fill up there

 

anyone tell me if the motorcycle license and riding one of those scooters is the same license or any difference between em? I am considering getting a bike also ...... but gotta get license first

 

too bad a lot of us aren't from the monterey area bro haha..if i ever went to laguna seca just to fill up, i'd need expensive gas to get there to begin with and by the time i got back home i'd be on empty again..so that doesn't work out haha...lucky you though...:thumbs up:

 

To ride a scooter, you have to have a full M1 license. Used to be you could ride under 50cc and many people still think you can, but they changed it.

You can get an M1 permit with just a written test, not too hard. Only restriction is daylight only, no passengers, no freeway.

Passengers and freeway isn't much of a restriction on a scooter anyway.

 

Yup.. 15.6 gallons at $4.63 or so at 76 at Maude/Mathilda in Sunnyvale.

I love the R for sure, it's an awesome car, but I am putting it up for sale. Since being on the bike I don't use it as much and it just sits there. Gonna put it up about $1k less than 'trade in' for a week, and then send it to auction if you know anyone lookin for an R. Brand new STaSIS StreetSport coilovers too.

 

WHAT THE?!?! how hard is the written test? i have some commonsense, would i pass it if i just walked in and took the test?

 

Probably not because the test has a bunch of stupid questions that have nothing to do with common sense and more to make sure you read the book haha. But if you read the book through, you shouldn't have much trouble.

Production has been increased as evidenced by the $10 decrese in the price of a barrel of crude oil over the past 2 weeks.

A big reason for the previous price increases was due to speculation on Wall St driving prices up while those who were forcasting doom and gloom were selling oil short. What that means is that they were trying to drive the price as high as it would go in order to cash in when the price came back down to earth. I figure the price of a barrel of crude should be around $75 or so, and we will probably see sub $100 prices again within the next 12 months.

 

70$ to fill up the rx7, 16mpg!!! yay! up from 14 last time. Maybe I should take my foot off the gas every now and then... naw, booooost!

 

jeez, i need a more efficient MOTORCYCLE. my r6 gets me 37-38 mpg and it's still not cutting it.

 

thanks, will look into it when i have the ***** to ride.

 

I just traded in my 05 STi for an 08 Honda Civic.

Not what I WANTED to do, but it's what I HAD to do.

I am not commuting about 80 miles a day. It sucks!!

 

Gas prices
I buy 100 so that price has not changed. I figure for $1 more a gallon you get better running car.

Motorcycles: Motorcycles are not the best option unless your a scooter. Must be 250cc or larger to use the freeways.
You need to get a m1 permit then take the msf course. Makes learning much easier.
Few things that people need to know about bikes.
They get the same gas milage as your car.
They are very dangrous to ride in comute time traffic.
Cost of operation denpending on model can be just as high.
Oh and they are not cooler on a hot day then riding in your car. Its like having a hair dryer in your face.

Spend allot of money on helmet, boots and MOTORCYCLE gloves.

I have been racing, working and riding motorcycles for over 20 years.
Gravity works.... So get a bike you can handle and not one your buddies say is the coolest.
If anyone has any direct questions about bikes or needs help going to look at one.
