Looking at the bright side, partially due to the cost of gas I have convinced my wife to let me register the motorcycle one of my friends gave me. It's only a 250cc Hyosung GV, but after some modifications to the intake, carbs, and exhaust it runs much better. It gets about 70 MPG which is double the 35 MPG I get on my Hyundai. I have about a 90 mile round trip commute. It's a bit of a haul on the bike, especially if the weather is less thatn perfect. It's really great for running short errands. Last month I rode to a Civil War event in uniform. It's actually quite easy to ride with a 3-band Enfield musket on your back. In fact people don't seem to follw too closely. I have yet to ride it to a Roman event. Imagine the sparks a seggie would make if I had to lay it down on pavement :lol:
