Can I ask you guys a question?
I know a pilot that works for American Eagle. He is in charge of recruitment at the San Juan hub. He had an accident with a bike and injured his leg real badly. He still flies but why would you guys put your lives or careers in danger by riding a motorbike? With todays cars even though they don't spend the same amount of gasoline they sure come close. You won't be attracting many women in a toyota but I wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of a drunk driver. At least in a car you have better safety. Just my two cents. Call me a ***** if you like, I would never drive a motorbike on a highway if anything.

In this life, we assume a certain amount of risk. We chose to. Without risk comes with no reward. One word to answer your question: Freedom.

I don't think that many people use motorcycles as an economical substitute for cars. I save about 120 gallons of gas if I put 5,000 miles on my motorcycle instead of my four cylinder car. At most I could save $500 a year in gas which does very little to offset the expense of owning and maintaining a motorcycle. A moped or scooter might work though. That would pay for itself pretty quickly if it was keeping miles off a lifted four door F350.
