In my home town when I was a kid, you could buy gas for 26 cents a gallon forever, and when we went to Texas, in Gila Bend Arizona they usually had gas wars that would rive it down to 17 cents a gallon. I'm old. It was commonplace to pull in and get full service and ask for a buck or two worths of gas and get you oil check and air in your tires.

I had an uncle that had a station in Texas and if you wanted an oil change there was no labor charge at his station, you just paid for the oil and the filter.

Currently, I use about $26 of gas a week traveling to and from work.
With the Burgman, I'm going to estimate that will drop to about $3.51 :yay:

That's about 90 a month in savings.....:yay:

About $1100 a year in savings.....:yay:

This bike should pay for itself in just over 2 years!!! :yay::yay::yay::yay:

My first date with my wife I drove her all around the local towns on my Kymco Yup 50.

Three months later she bought a Roketa and the rest is history.

Opps...I've just re read my own post.....I'll need about $12 in gas a week not
$3.51 . I guess I hadn't had my coffee yet. :hehe:

That will save me $56 a month and $672 a year......comparing what it now cost me.

Plus it will be a whole lot more fun traveling to and from work :yay:

While most likely not appropriate for this forum...I will post this pic briefly since I can't email pics to ya. Then I will delete the post. Pic is 3 yo..so now I have less hair..:lmao:..and due to winter my Native Pigment has faded a bit.>:( 145lb man with the mouth and attitude of a 245lb man..:nuts:
*My apology in advance for anyone this offends and I will be removing it quickly*
