Can you relate to this?

That is very cool yes I can relate

You'll never know embarrassment until you're in line at a gas station (where everyone else is paying $60 bucks) and you hand the attendant your $3.72.

I once used the phrase, "I need $300 on pump 18."

I dunno....I'd think I'll have a great big smile on my face! :nod:

Oh my girl..met a few men that way? Unfair..I should be able to meet a few ladies that way...:nod: It is though as you say...a conversation starter. Just like you I always fill up at about 1/2 tank. One day at the Marathon station in town...I looked at the price of gas..did the math in my head for the cost of 1/2 gallon. Told the gal I needed $2.30 on pump 4....she gave me an odd look..tried to see out the window at the pump...then asked me.."Huh?..what the hell...did you push your lawnmower up here?".... :lmao:

I keep a hand full of change in every one of my scooters just in case I need to fill up and lost/forgot my cash. 1.50$ can get me anywhere in St Louis on my little scoots. I always feel strange when I give them 3$ and have to come back for my change so I usually buy a pop with the left over also.

That's pretty funny. I've barely owned my scooter a month and I have yet to even attend a gas station pump, but I've driven up there to buy HEET before :P.

I relate more to this commercial:

Can you translate? for all we know he said Godzilla will get you, you ugly American...

Your gonna love your first gas station visit. You will fill your tank...walk in..buy a Slurpee and a Chilli Dog...pay for it all with total cost under 5 bux. Then walk outside and see the guy with the SUV...nozzle still in his tank...eyes rolled back as he mutters such things as "Daughters College fund...poof!...down payment on my new Bass Boat...poof!...Scheduled vacation in Vegas...cancelled...all so the CEO of BP oil company can buy a new Lamborghini Countach"....

LOL too true. I think I'll end up spending more money on gas for my weed whacker than I will for my scooter if things keep going the way they are.


You seem to be a lot better than me at Japanese. I had no idea it said that... No wonder the zook sales did so poorly...

terrilee...anyway you could give us men lessons on 'Lady Speak'... Cause I really messed up when she asked if I brought my lawnmower up there.:no: I told her "Yes...I brought my lawnmower..mind turning around so I can see your 'backyard'...<--- Epic Fail....:nuts:

Hi
I dont, I love it when the person in front of me spends 70 or 80 dollars and i then slap down the spare change in my pocket while proudly declaring " "
"Fill Her Up"
To see the look on their faces is priceless:yay::clap::tup:

Hank that was posted with tongue ever so firmly planted in cheek

Hi

Take care and ride safely dear friend

Hank...so true. Also when I see the gas stations "Have a Penny..leave a Penny..need a Penny...take a Penny" box on the counter..I look at it and think.."Dang there's almost a 1/4 tanks worth of gas in that thing"...:yay:

Your right Hank, I throw my spare change in a jar (gas money for scoot) they can have their cars, give me am scoot

Not married....but been there..done that...:ugh:

:hehe:

It was even more impressive back in the day of $1 gas. Give the guy a dollar fill up you tank. I'm sure there are some real old timers here who used to ride Cubs back in the day who can remember doing the same thing with a quarter.

Hi
Gas was $0.60 agallon when i got my first street legal motorbike i was 16
Take care and ride safely dear friend

Remember when gas stations shut down for a day or so...or left one pump working as the others were being replaced...because gas went up to $1.05. The old pumps were only designed to go up to 99 cents. So while the other pumps were being replaced...the working one was set at 53 cents per gallon and they used a calculator when you went in to pay..to find the actual cost..:lmao: oh the good old days..ride my mini bike with a one quart tank to the gas station(on the road and cops did not even stop or bother me) Ok...dating myself..exposing my age on this one...BUT..to fill my one quart tank cost me about...8 cents..:yay:

Wow your old

The day after I got my first car gas went up to $1.01 for the first time...

I can remember my old man going to the local gas station when I was a kid and spending a whopping 29 cents a gallon.

Rob..hey now...I was a kid with a mini bike...it was like 1972 and gas was 25-30 cents per gallon. Smoked were 3 packs for a buck...and a can Coke cost you a quarter...a Snickers bar was a quarter as well.
But me old?...Not all..ya see I can remember when..when...hang on...oh yeah I can remember when.. Never mind..it wasn't that important..:hmm:

Hey being old is better than the alternative right?

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.

Wow, that's a far cry from today's norm! You can't even get AIR for 17 cents now! lmao :no:

There is a new air station in my town that takes credit cards $1 for 2 tires built in pressure gauge...

Hi Rob
Yikes:ugh:>:( air is still free at most stations here:yay:
Take care and reide safely dear friend
Yours Hank

You can still get it for free here that gas station is for the tourists though

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:

You just paid for your gear...

Ah the course of true love! (at least for scooters.)
