Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

Gas prices don't mean diddly squat to me... I've always taken the bike instead of the car.

Yeah, I don't fit your categories.  I drive when I HAVE to, and I ride all the rest of the time already.

The bike sits more lately, I don't go anywhere that I don't need to, car, truck, or bike, nothing to do with gas prices. My back went out.

Well, I bought the bike a few years back to save money on gas...but now I ride EVERYWHERE and ALL THE TIME.  I'm probably spending more in gas then before, but having a hell of alot more fun.

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

If I could get my crapping out parts to just take turns, I could deal with them one at a time.
Before it was lack of time, or lack of money, that limited my riding.
I never gave much thought to the old carcus going bad.   Its a beautiful morning with places to go and things to see and the time and money to Get er Done, If I can get on the bike, I'm riding today.
