What kind of bike is that ASUSMC?

Not to sound old, but I remember gas at $.24/gal. Middle 60's. My Dad would give me a quarter to fill his military style gas can and I'd have a penny left for a piece of Bazooka gum.

Just think in 10-20 years from now we'll all be saying... Damn, I remember when gas was $4 back in the days...

haha, that is awesome!

oh heck I am only 19 and remember when gas was $.97 and when it would break $1 how outrageous that was, oh the good ol' days. lol.

It's a Yamaha V Star 650 Silverado. Never ridden a bike on the street before and it is honestly some of the most fun I have had in quite a while. I had originally bought it for the gas mileage. The Lightning gets about 13mpg, the bike ~50mpg so it will pay for itself very soon

I remember when the pipe line broke to the valley, people were running scarred and paid over $3.00 a gallon and didn't squock about, just glad they were able to get some.. I knew we were in trouble because the oil companies are making record profits!! Billions!! There is more oil all over the USA than we need to get form arabia but the tree huggers won't let us get it, but.. They want us to lessen our dependency on foriegn oil....

Plus there has not been a new refinery built in the US for over 10 years!!

Last refinery was built in 1977..........

Exactly, and the libs keep voting down drilling and building to get us away from "foriegn" oil!!!
