Their bike sales are actually holding. Nothing like getting 80mph if you just have to run to the store to buy a gallon of milk versus starting your V8 F150 and buring 2 gallons of gas.

Quoted: I blame commodities traders. They were behind the last big hikes, too. Why blame them? They are simply moving into assets that can't be devalued by fiat. They wouldn't be buying up commodities if the Fed wasn't setting interest rates at zero and printing money like crazy. oh, and unleaded is $4.12 here. I was just at the gas station. |

It aint worth shit and you cant buy the same thing you could just 1 year ago. |

Don't dirtbikes get upwards of 40 MPG?
What is the difference in cost for a bike, quad, or jet ski be for the day? $5 for the day more tops? If you are so hard up for money you can't afford that maybe it wasn't a good idea to buy dirt bikes quads and jet skis. If not, then don't be such a drama queen. |

Since the dollar is the currency that oil is traded with that makes sense. If obongo lets our dollar weaken even more, the yuan will soon be used and the dollar will no longer be supreme. |

$4.11/gallon for 87 unleaded gasoline here (Central Kalifornia) is the cheapest––some brands that are always more expensive (Chevron) are around $4.29/ gallon, and it's not even Memorial Day yet.
One would think that this might cause some markdowns on motorcycles, RVs, etc. due to slow sales. Anyone seeing any signs of this? Steve |

Pulling trailers and supplies up there will cost a fortune. And when we go up we dont use 2-3 gallons of gas. We will hit the trails or 6-8 hours at a time. We will have to refuel at least once usually twice. We have more then once ran our of fuel. Usually at that point the guy with the most gas rides back to the truck for the extra tank. But we will go through 20-30 gallons a weekend just for our toys. Not to mention the jet ski sucks gas even faster. Sucker has a HUGE tank. So its not just $15 dollars but can get into hundreds of dollars once you calculate gas for the trucks in addition to the toys. |

I know when i take the atv out, sure it might cost me 20$ to ride it for the day, but it takes 50-100$ worth of gas to get to the trail to begin with. I know with me personally, ill probably continue to take it out once a month or so just like ive always been doing, but I can understand why some people wont. Whatever, more room on the trail for me. |

This proves their outrage and opposition to the Iraq war was 100% partisan. |

Dirt bike trails are right behind my neighborhood. But if you have to trailer your stuff around then that makes sense. Kindof like taking a boat outin the gulf right now. No way in hell I'd pay for that gas but then again I don't own a boat.

No one complained because we could absorb the few cents and still play with our toys and no one cared. No people are starting to feel it firsthand and can no longer the do the things they are used to doing. This is the turning point where people start to wake up and take notice. If the worlds problems dont effect you, why should you give a fuck? Of course you wouldnt. Now things have changed, food is more expensive, playing with our toys is more expensive. Pretty soon just living will get more expensive. At that point even the libtards are going to have to shut the fuck up. |

 I'm bummed because I'm looking for a job and have to do alot of networking and resumes over the computer, because I can't get drive around and nock on door's. I applied online and went to a business, the manager stated he had 75 applicants!! Without nocking on doors it is hard to get noticed!!

On the bright side, it's a fully contained bug-out/SHTF vehicle, so I'll be hanging on to it
