WOW! Gas is Almost $3.00 Per Gallon

Can you believe that “regular” gas is back up to almost $3.00 per gallon, in spite of the not too distant claims of an excess?  The word was that people were cutting back on the use of gasoline to the point of actually affecting the price.  Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do about the price of gasoline, except learn to cope with such high prices.  I believe the producers know exactly what to do to keep the prices high.  Of course, one way we could cope would be to do a lot more walking than we currently do.  I mean, we could just walk to the store, or even walk to work.  However, in our extremely fast paced life, “time” is of the essence and anyway most of us are too lazy to do much walking.  Another option would be to just get a bicycle, but again that takes a lot of time and energy which most of us just don’t have.


A much more reasonable option would be to get something like a motorcycle that not only gets great gas mileage, but will get you there with plenty of time to spare.  And, you will still feel like doing a good day’s work when you get there.  Motorcycles are like all vehicles in that you can buy a very expensive brand new “baby” that is not only for transportation, but is also for show.  Or, on the other hand, you can buy a nice used motorcycle at a very reasonable price and can be operated for next to nothing compared to the cost of driving even a compact car.  Just remember that when you get that motorcycle and help the country cut back on the use of gasoline, that maybe you are making a difference.  If you don’t see any evidence that you are making a difference in the world, you should see it in your wallet.

As you purchase your motorcycle, also think about protecting your investment with the purchase of a motorcycle cover.  And, just as with motorcycles, motorcycle covers come in at all price ranges and they offer various forms of protection.  If you have a garage or carport, a relatively cheap dust-cover type cover may do.  But, if you plan to keep it outside, please go for the elite waterproof motorcycle cover.

So, in conclusion, I will just say that I definitely don’t expect to see any drop in the price of gasoline in the near future and that now may be just the time to buy a motorcycle – before everyone jumps on the bandwagon.  When that happens, the prices of motorcycles will also skyrocket.  Also, don’t forget to get a good quality motorcycle cover too.
