people desprate for cheap transportation

Yeah, we have MH issues in the family so it was an easy call.  Good there's more honesty about it now, as back in our day it was just "stiff upper lip" and crack on with only the most seriously affected confined to the "loony bin"!  Not exactly helpful.

Before I  decided to pretend to be a carpenter for the state of Ohio for 30yrs....I  worked in psychiatric hospitals in Massachusetts and Ohio for 16 yrs. I very much  enjoyed working with those medical professionals, and with military medical professionals as a medic.
The psych unit in Massachusetts was led by 3 very progressive psychiatrists....one of which, whom I worked closely with...
took her life. Nevertheless - those Mass coworkers were a remarkable group of people.
We took mental health days many a time to the shore - after a quick fuel-up at Dunkin Donuts of course🙂

I dont know about everyone else but since Gas prices hit an all time high I have gotten so many complements from coworkers and complete strangers on how they wish they had a scooterr.

Ha ha.  I know even the Harley guys that normally make fun of me at work, are now saying “well I guess you are the smart one.”

And so you are!

LOL funny about the Lady....was she an older lady?

And Yes people are asking me about gas mileage. I would say 99% of the people on this planet have never even thought about gas mileage with motorcycles or scooters.....until now!

I really can't picture someone picking up my 450 lb. AK 550 and putting it in their truck.

But stranger things have happened for sure....

You must get cheap tires. I spend more than twice on fuel compared to what I spend on tires... at least so far and especially at the current fuel prices... even though fuel prices have dropped a little since last month or the month before. And I spend about half for fuel in the bike compared with any car I own for the same miles so I go put more miles on the bike and let the car sit more often. And I consider maintenance cost a wash compared to the cars I own IF I take it in for maintenance and not do most of it myself.

I actually haven't got a handle on tires for my K-Pipe yet, still has original tires that suck, if I try holding speed in corners, I can feel the front wanting to wash out.  I'm hoping I spend less than my v-strom 1000, or even my old sv650, I remember spending $3500 one year just on tires, granted, 35k miles, but 10¢/mile
