Yeah, they do, but I need it.

My fiance has a Mustang, so I have to take it if we have more than the two of us, and I have a bike trailer to tow once or twice a year.

And the 4WD comes in handy. As you can see from the pic, I do go off the paved roads a bit!

No rough terrain, but I'm not afraid to get it dirty!

It's just what I like, and isn't that what we work for!

Wife's



Mine

Probably a little better on gas than yours !!

[Phils20]

Probably a whole lot better!

Nice! There are times I wish I had something better on gas, but my hobbies dictate something else!


Some ask "why don't you buy a beater that is good on gas?"

There is no such thing. Something decent wouldn't really save me money by the time I bought it and insured it!

Luckily I can ride the bike to work from about March-October here, and at 50 MPG, that helps a lot!

I could only wish for "cheap gas" like your getting.
Up here its $5.20 per Gallon.

Canada is the largest oil exporter to the US, but we pay more at the pump...go figure

[Phils20]

I don't understand that either!

But then, gas can fluctuate by about 20-30 cents within an hours drive, so all it is is gouging anyway!

Since there is a mild concern about oil these days, I'm not sure how many out there actually know where it comes from:

1. Canada, 2.431 million barrels per day;

1. Saudi Arabia, 1.620 million barrels per day;

1. Mexico, 1.581 million barrels per day;

1. Venezuela, 1.381 million barrels per day; and

1. Nigeria, 1.306 million barrels per day.

1. According to Canada’s Globe and Mail, by 2015 and the completion of the project, Canadian oil exports to the U.S. are expected to increase to three million barrels a day.

Hey this thing has to last me a long time, I think!

I do take care of it! This was just an unpaved road, and it was dusty!

One thing about this color is that is doesn't show dirt!

Next time I get muddy, I'll share that pic, but don't hold your breath!

This thing is more for towing and snow than off roading!

What do you ride ? I'm desperately looking for Goldwing. I'm at that stage in my life now.

I ride a Yamaha Road Star, but it goes up for sale in September or October.

You will like it, once you have a HD, it's hard to go back to another make.
Here's my old 83 Road King (with x girlfriend).

Nice looking but I still want a GW. To much maintenance on the HD's, although I'm sure the newer ones have less than some of the older ones.
