Fuel Prices - off my normal eBay topics

Monday, June 9th, 2008

I filled up my truck last week - $86.00  and had to fill it again at the end of the week $91.00 - It was clear that I had to do something different.  Started looking around the web - Australia mostly and confirmed what I already knew.  They have been hit with high energy price only it happened to them a couple of years ago.  I began looking at transportation alternatives and came upon scooters.  Some more research showed me some good brands.  Scooter???  I had not even thought about that, we don;t have many of those around here.  Anyway long story short I have a new way to get to work.  A SYM 200HD found it on eBay, went up to Indianapolis to get it a few days ago, to my motorcycles drivers test and passed.

This thing easily goes 55 and 60 which is what is needed in this area.  I actually took it 20 some miles into the city today.  And I had to fill it up with gas this evening.  It took 1.5 gallons - I have traveled 122 miles.  That is 74 mpg.  YES!!!   I can live with that.    I am hoping to get a dealership on this and start selling them soon.  Not on eBay - direct to customers in my area.

These are far easier than motorcycles - I will be starting a scooter blog soon and will have a scooter website up soon also.

I will get some photos of it on line and over here maybe tomorrow
