Man, reading this thread made getting this bike look easy.
My wife still brings it up when we discuss finances.
It just occurred to me. I've been riding my bike very much during the summer.
In the winter, buying diesel for the truck to replace the miles I biked during the summer is an extra hit beyond the other fuel problems.
The other problems I usually consider are those of the winter blend and fuel cost going up about 25 percent, and mileage dropping about 30 percent due to the cold.
I go from spending about $200 per month to over $400 per month on diesel.
Thanks again for the bike Pat. It fits me well in many ways.
