Yeah there is some initial cost to getting a bike. However if your good at math it doesn't take a genious to figure out that you can more than make up for the cost of the bike and insurance by saving on gas. And the fact that I don't see gas coming down significantly anytime soon you are not wasting money.

Put it this way.

Mike bike was about 3 grand, I payed cash for it but even if I did finance it the payment would only be about 70 dollars. The insurance is about 35 dollars a month. So thats around 100 dollars.

Just to drive to work it was costing me about 240 dollars a month, the motorcycle cost me about 50 bucks. You figure it out. I also drive it everywhere else, to run errangs or whatever. Yeah you need a car sometimes but if you aren't a pussy you can drive a motorcycle everywhere providing the weather isn't a hurricane.
