I guess that I should have added that back in one of the gas shortages of the late '70's-early '80's, I thought about buying a murdercycle to save us money on my daily 19 mile commute to work.  Looked at a used 500 or so cc bike.  Then did the math, cost of bike, cost of additional registration and insurance, bike mileage as opposed to my Toyota P/U.  Figured I would have to ride it every day 'bout nine months a year for something like NINE years before I would start to show a profit.  Going to a bike ain't gonna save all that much!  (well, maybe a Vespa or something, but not a REAL murdercycle)...
