96. I ride a motorcycle
Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 05:17 PM by Higans
I get 65 miles per gallon. I love the planet, and the atmosphere. I am not ashamed that my motorcycle is not a hybrid because one point in fact is that when my battery finally dies, it won't be as much of a disposal problem as the battery in a hybrid. it makes me sick to see single occupant SUV's on the road. if more people road motorcycles, there would be less traffic congestion, less parking congestion, less need for oil, and less air pollution. as soon as they come out with a Hydrogen powered motorcycle, I will buy one.

your Prius was only $20,500. My motorcycle was only $1,200 and I bought it out right. yes it was used, but it only had 1,000 miles on it when I bought it. if it were new I could get the same bike for under $6,000 only the new model that looks a bit sleeker.

I realize that not every one can ride a motorcycle, but I suspect that a lot more can then those that do. I just wanted to mention that I don't own a hybrid, but I don't feel ashamed of myself at all.
