Default Yamama - Got a dirt bike...

It was $300, and I sold my little chopper, so I got this. 1990 Yamaha RT 100:




I think I'll get more use out of it than the chopper. Sold it to a buddy for his g/f to use. She loves it, because she's afraid of motorcycles, but this one is just right:


I look a little too big to be riding this, although the 100 is still small, but it's faster.

If I ever sell my Ninja, it'll either be for something bigger, for an ATV, or because I need the money. I'd like to get a 4x4 quad so I can drive in the winter. It's legal to drive them on the street here, with proper equipment. You can probably ride snowmobiles longer during the year than street bikes.

I wanna hook up a foglight or two on it so I can go ride in the evenings.

Now that it's what, $3.77/gallon for 88 octane? Or was that the 85 octane...

I put 93 in my bikes. For the couple gallons they hold, might as well. The 88 at one of the stations is nice, it's only 5 cents more because of the ethanol in it. The people with flex fuel vehicles shouldn't be too mad if they have a place to fuel up. Back in Missouri it was like 50 cents less per gallon for 80% or 90% ethanol, although I think it takes more fuel. But if they start processing it more, prices should come down. That Tesla Roadster is cool too. Even at $90k, not as bad as fuel and engine work on a fosil fuel vehicle. Battery life of about 100k mi.

I just filled the tank in one of our delivery trucks today, it only holds 22-24 gallons of diesel, and i put 21 in. It started overheating and they have to wait for it to cool down. So, that'll be a waste of fuel if it can't even run. $4.47 is crazy for diesel. Gonna have to raise delivery prices.

Video of my buddy and I riding around on a dirt road. We drove about 15 miles that day and the next as well.
