Gas prices keeping going up and up with no relief in sight.
My question to you is, do you ride a motorcycle, scooter, or bike to save on gas ?

I own two motorcycles, one is a Kawasaki 454 ltd, we don't use it so I might be selling it soon. I also have a 1998 Harley Davidson FLH Roadking, it's a former police bike. Not that I need an excuse, but the rising gas prices has made it where it gets driven in the rain, which in Maine has been often lately.
So what do you ride ?

I don't ride a motorcycle.  I am concerned about their safety.  S. Florida is a bad place for old people who don't pay attention on the road, and the last thing I want is road-rash from the tire of some octogenarian blue-hair.

It is unsafe, but it's not the bike itself but majority of time the people around you, like you said. I have a joke with my wife because she rides too, it goes like this. You haven't really gone out for a ride if you weren't almost killed by someone cutting you off.

Honda makes an excellent bike, my first bike was a 1982 Honda NightHawk 450, I loved thatt bike eventhough it was ugly.

Man...I thought this was about bicycles. In that case, yes I do ride. A 2008 Jamis Coda Sport. Sweet bike and saves a ton in gas.

I had a 1984 VF 500 Interceptor when I was in high school.  That was the first Interceptor they made. I loved that bike!! I would love to have a bike today but don't think it's worth the risk.

^^Pure beauty, CF.  My first bike ever was a 1985 Interceptor 700.  It was the full ferring bike.  I'm pretty sure the plastic was after market, I don't think it came equip off the show room with full ferrin.  What a beast that thing was, loved it.  Did you see the anniversary edition VFR's?

This is my machine, polished and ready to go.  I usually don't have the rear seat cover on but I did for this picture:

Very nice bike Maine!!!

The 700s did not come with a full ferring.  I remember the 700s well as my best friend had one.  If I rememebr correctly 85 was the first 700 as they were V45s or 750s in 83 and 84.  Memories are coming back. I guess 85 was the first 500 Interceptor and not the original Interceptor.  Man that seems like a long time ago.
