AHHH! 4.00 per gallon!

With the coming of spring, comes the warm weather, the BBQ's, T- shirts... and yes, $4.00 for a gallon of gas. And thats if they decide to have mercy on us. So I decided to start a new spring tradition. When the warm weather hits, I give my truck a vacation.
I sold my Honda CB750 motorcycle that I had had for a few years. And bought this little Yamaha XT250. The Old CB only got 30 mpg and didn't have any fenders and was loud and fast I had it basically for the cool factor. But, this little guy will get 60-70 mpg and I wont be tempted to go 120 anymore... I had no trouble selling the old CB. I had put allot of work into making it run well and look good. A young guy ended up buying it for the cool factor. Imagine that. So in the end I got a summer vehicle that will get 6 times better gas mileage than the ol' truck. Complete with fenders for those rainy days. And I must say, The little Yamaha still has a cool factor.
