Filler Up

This post just came over the Long Distance Rider list and I had to pass it on. Perhaps the average motorcycle rider saves money on gas over 11 days but not this group..

"Anyone else find it ironic that fuel prices in the states keep hitting highs
while the IBR is in progress?

Keeping it simple

90 bikes * 11,000 miles / 40? mpg = 24,750 gallons * 2.50 per gallon (price
on the internet for Denver) = $61,875 fuel cost
Drag down the mpg to 35 = 28,285 gallons * 2.50 = $70,714

Probably still cheaper than the therapy required after 11 days and nights @
Mike and Lisa's mercy =:^))"
