So it's not just me. I was wondering if I'd see some Escalades, Hummers, or similar but I guess not many of those people have re-evaluated yet

I was commuting by motorcycle for a few months as I refused to support the raising prices of fuel and then decided bicycle commuting was an option and would have a lot of benefits. Bought a new roadie to spark the flame and have yet to look back except at some of my other endulgences in the past

I'm kind of embarrased by what my dependency was on fuel as virtually all my activities required large amounts of fuel. Those included racing motorcross (quad and bike) which has been put on the back burner with the other 3 dirtbikes currently just sitting. We competed in wakeboarding so I have a very expensive gas guzzler just sitting now as well as the 2003 3/4 diesel I pulled it with. My wife got a new vehicle (FX35) about a year ago when I desperately tried talking her into a car but felt I couldn't push her due to my previous choices. My most sensable (ha) mode of transportation a Yamaha R1 that is also just sitting now. So now I feel really good about the changes I've made but left wondering what I'm going to do with all those toys Maybe a surge in gas supplies, lowering the cost of fuel so I can unload a bunch of it More likley is that I'll have to bite the bullet and suck up the losses.
