Default my new ride

tired of paying high gas prices, I decided to get an alternate mode of transport for my 40 mile ride to work.

yes, helmets are required in Mass.
Thats a 2003 Buell Blast 500cc single cylinder.
Gets 60-70 mpg. electronicly governed at 95 mph.
I won't win any races or be doing wheelies down the street.
But I'll be able to get to work and back on 1 gallon of gas.
As comparired to the 4 gallons a day I'm using now.

A friend of mine has one of those, they're kinda slow though, I could out run him in my car. But with the price of gas and how awesome riding a bike is good choice
