Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: TRX450R_Racer on June 09, 2008, 09:03:04 PM Never too much to go have fun. When you go you need to stay longer. You just can't go as often.
Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: JackL on June 09, 2008, 09:08:08 PM Everything will be fine, I just developed a synthetic zero emission fuel that is equivalent to about 100 octane gasoline and only costs $0.85 a gallon to make at home, but I seem to have misplaced the formula right now. I will look for it latter if I have some time. ;)
Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: FoxHondaRider on June 09, 2008, 10:59:32 PM I will always go riding but it will just be slowed down with higher prices as in not going as much. When it was about $2.15 - $3.20 I would ride just about every weekend and gas seemed to last so long. Since it hit around $3.75 I had to start paying for gas to get out to Croom and then to fill up my tank so now i've been going riding twice a month if i'm lucky. I will still ride once a month at $5 a gallon. Wheres the E85 stations when you need them. I can run my 400ex on E85 and then i could get higher compression because E85 is like 102 octane i think.

Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: FoxHondaRider on June 09, 2008, 11:45:38 PM run everything off moonshine which is legal if you purify it and consider it E85. I read up on it and as long as it "E85 or ethanol" and will be used for fuel its fine. I thought about it but I dont know how to get the stuff to make it
Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: Fox17 on June 10, 2008, 01:25:22 AM i think if youre gonna spend that kind of $ on a bike you can pay for the gas. i paid 3k for my CRF so ill ride it until it or me dies (or i sell it and get another one).

Title: Re: Gas to much to Ride Post by: raca65 on June 10, 2008, 08:24:56 AM WHO DO WE HAVE TO THANK LOOK AT IT FROM THIS ANGLE NOT THAT THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS POST JUST STUPID PEOPLE AND THE HOLY DOLLAR AND GREED THAT DOES IT.....ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY......TIME TO REVOLT...
Subject: Think about it... The OPEC minister may look you in the eye and say, "We are at war with you infidels and have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven't even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels! While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tar sands. we know if you did this, it would create thousands of jobs for U.S. citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the U.S. instead of sending it to usto finance our war against you infidels. Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies. Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies. Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska , and anywhere there is an insect, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer. Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective. Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with theses types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise hisname! We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive up food prices. Thank you U.S. Congress! And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies for our benefit. THANK YOU AMERICA !"
