Gas mileage

Glad you feel one up on the next guy. By the way that is 67,000 miles on a Rocket X bought brand new in 2015. Original owner. Yes I have made a few runs but never thought about it. Pull in get gas and go. Leave the change in the little bowl by the counter and ride on. IMG_0986.JPG By the way if you had mention a run we might have communicated. Top that HA HA. Can already hear you explaining " Man I ride serval bikes" On And On. Bla By Bla By Bla.
 
I take a lot of pride in riding. Am 62 years old with basically a broken back. Just started Physical Therapy. Still I get up every morning and ride 57 miles one way to work. Sometimes I wonder why Ride. A Little voice in my head keeps telling me "it is not that bad ride" So we do. Never been a fan of cars to me a bike is my transportation and my weekend toy. I do spend about $4.00 to $6.50 a day in gas. Never did the math. Some days I just chill and ride other days want to race anybody stupid enough to. Some days I wipe them clean other days they wipe me clean. It is all good. Were good.

I'm 57, ride year around and up to a year ago rode 50+ miles round trip to work and 200+ miles weekend round trip to the town I currently live in and yes between two bikes the Victory Cross Country and the Suzuki V-Strom that I've since sold I was riding 25,000+ a year. I was wearing the Vic out riding to work so I bought the Strom to wear out. I also put down the miles. The Vic averaged 43-45mpg and the Strom average 54-57mpg. I now ride 12 miles round trip to work and now live in my weekend home. I am going on a day ride tomorrow. Still riding daily just not as far.

Sure we're good, we are just talking. Ain't no thang.
 
I ride year round in Oklahoma. :eek::eek::eek::eek: This time of the year bikes are few and far between during the morning hours. By the end of next month they will be long gone. Live south of a little town in Oklahoma by the name of Henryetta. Got about 30 acres and a house and a few cows. All paid for. Forgot about the chickens. Three chicken copes and around 300 chickens. All good layers. I like to work just as much as ride. Work around the house is OK but still not ready to quit the big city. Kind of get a kick out of it. Watch them folks kiss up and do there best to look good at work. Me I am Known as the Grumpy welder. Spend most of my time working RD with the engineers and love it. Retirement?
