I am good, I know that no one is at the wheel. I got both hands on the rudder.
Are Gas Prices Crimping Your Riding?

Nope, gogo juice goes in,, smiles come out. Don't care what price it gets up to, I'll keep riding around with no where to go and figure it out when I get there.
Haven't been riding as much lately with all sorts of other stuff going on, but gas for the bike is comparatively cheap. The van and her SUV both get 17-18 mpg and the van is usually over $125 to fill. Glad that both are paid for and cheap on insurance.
The saving grace vehicles for us are the boat and electric car. At this point the boat uses about $1.50 of diesel to where we put up the sails and the EV costs a whopping $3.78 in my garage to get mid-250 miles of range. Plus driving the EV is like a go-cart.

Went on a 5 1/2 day roundtrip ride to North Dakota recently. Spent more money on fuel then on lodgings this trip. High of $5.50 a gallon for premium no ethanol .

I ride the ST more than usual now that fuel costs are higher. If I don't have to pick up any large items the bike is my preferred travel vehicle. It gets 45 mpg while my four wheel vehicles get 14.5 (truck) and 24 (SUv).
Short answer to the title: No, but work is unfortunately. Going from daily to maybe twice a month

Well for me when I buy a new bike and farkle it out the cost per mile for the first 10k miles has to be around $20 per mile.
since all my farkling is done for the last few years, the cost of gas doesn’t even come close. $30 for a days worth of therapy is well worth it!!!

Yes Gasoline is very expensive and even more expensive in Canada but if you want to play you have to pay, I’m mostly just thankful to be able to afford it.

Still riding, still smiling. No changes except for carrying an extra bottle of water or two.

Yes guys! I used to wonder how cheap gasoline is in America and how expensive it is in Europe. Now I wonder how cheap gasoline is in Russia and how mega-expensive in Europe and America. But these are trifles compared to the prices of motorcycle tires. In winter, prices were 70 thousand rubles per set. If at the current rate, then this is about $ 1200 for tires)))))
