Default Is fuel prices affecting your riding?

Have a lot of you guys that travel a little ways to ride cancelled trips because of fuel prices? I know it has me and my riding buddies to a degree. And I don't even want to go practice for upcoming MX races because I have to drive an hour to the tracks I race at.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


I am concerned about people who live paycheck to paycheck, how are they even getting to work. Or college students just trying to get by.

Went riding about two weeks ago and it cost a little over a 100 bucks for fuel and food and etc. Used to only coast maybe 60 bucks. So yeah i guess its affecting the old wallet but i still ride.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Fuel prices wont make a dent in my riding. OK maybe i will ride my horse instead of buyin a pale of fuel for the quad... NOT. I guess i dont have to drive anywhere to ride so its just the cost of fuel for the bike. I did notice last month my fuel bill went up 100 freakin bucks. and i have been driving less and my quad was broke down. and thats not including the Boat gase. heck last month went thru 300 bucks in the boat wakeboarding aswell. Good lawde These fuel ****'s need shot. Oh well i guess i will make em richer and go put another 75 bucks in the boat and hit the lake tonight [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Heck no it won't slow me down, but I only go once every couple of weeks anyway. It's daily driving that's eating my lunch. Wife works a block away and won't carpool. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

You mean she works a block from your work? Id be p!ssed to![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Now that I think of it, it is starting to be a little chunk just to fill up the bikes, when I was 16 half my lunch money would do it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]


420rappy, the he!! with filling up jet ski's. I just sold a couple and the fast one sucked it down faster than you can fill it! I'll take a canoe from now on.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
