I'm going to get one of those little tag holders for a bicycle and put a little sign on it that says "100+ mpg"

That's great Ronny....

When I first started riding my MB to work, I got alot of heat from the guy's...
They have seen me ride all kind's of motorcycle's over the year's....and as a race car driver they just could not beleive I would ride a MB...

They would keep saying "How could you ride that Sissy Bike"...."You look like a fool"

Well, as gas price's would keep going up, and me letting them take a spin during our lunch break's....five out of the nine tech's are riding to work everyday just like me....

Yeah Some guys at my work are jealous too! Some ask me how much to build them one but I am reluctant to do so! Some guys say leave it to you to build a lazy mans bike, others just make fun of but most do envy it!

But I think most people are impressed by it defiantly turns heads!

I do ride up with a big school kid grin on face when I ride it!!!

hehe, I get harassed by my students...I don't care though, I already know I'm a big nerd...then I tell them I fill up my gas tank for $2 and they fill up for $60+ and I laugh at them.
