Thanks oilfreeandhappy!
Just wanted to thank oilfreeandhappy publicly for the t-shirts I purchased from him. I bought them Thursday & had them on my door step Saturday! Just thought I'd post this here for those that may have checked his site out but were unsure about buying. We support our LBS', so let's support our forum members as well. Anyway, thanks again oilfreeandhappy.

I especially like the "Oil Free & Happy" concept, so much so that we've bought patches to give customers at our Santa Fe store.
The patches are very high quality.
I'm happy to see them getting some attention on this bike forum.

Doesn't cost any more to fill up the Escape than it does my car (Jetta GLI 1.8T).
From April to October last year, I commuted to work via my motorcycle - 55 mpg, and a 70 mile roundtrip commute. Saved an assload of money versus my car, which gets around 30 mpg, but requires 93 octane....bike requires 87.
If there were jobs in this area that paid anything that I could live on, I'd most definitely get a job where I could bike commute and not have to drive. I hate driving 30, 50, 100 miles (or more) to work.

I've got to hit the road this summer for work, I've been moved from a plant production engineer to a project engineer. Sucks cause I won't be able to cycle to work, although I'm hoping they'll send me to the work location which sits along the NYS barge canal. That would make for some awesome evening rides.

Being out of work does have its' benefits though - don't have to drive much.
