OT... Getting Better Gas Mileage.

Simple... buy a moped ------> 75-100 miles to the gallon!! beat that Honda Hybrid!!

Yesterday I acted much like a 15 year old and bought myself a moped. I didn't buy it for the gas mileage... it's just a fun little toy... since I am still a boy at heart I need lots of toys.

It's max speed is around 30-35 miles an hour which is more than fast enough for me. Can't wait to get a local signing and jump on my moped... lol... imagine the borrowers reaction?!

It's a lot of fun, but I really look like an idiot driving around on it with a brace on my ankle. lol

That's a good idea. I remember someone last year saying that

to save gas they were riding their horse to a closing. I would have love to see the look on the BR's face for that one.

Good for you!! I've always wanted one but never had the nerve. There is a group here that take day trips on theirs, they are called the Mo-Pagans. Ha! Ha!

Mung/CA that is a funny picture in my head...

Kinda like the guys in that Clint Eastwood movie with the Orangutan Clyde.

I've seen worse things than that driving around on Mopeds. I'd love to ride a scooter the 5 miles to work, but Pittsburgh has too many speeders and road ragers, I'd end up in a brace myself!

Just be careful! You don't have enough power to get out of

trouble. Anyway that's what my husband says. He rides a harley, looks like the classic biker too. Long hair in a pony tail, leathers the whole bit. However looks don't mean that much, in reality he's a 52 year old conservative

Re: OT...Jersey_Boy

I wonder how many passers by saw your ankle brace and thought you just couldn't handle your street hog?
