Looking for relief in gas prices!

That is my driving force right now.
I bought this bike for 125.00
It hasn't ran for at least 10 years so I am told. who really knows. Anyway I love to take a POC and bring it back to life. That is where I am with this. Trying to keep it cheap yet nice. I am a bit OCD on projects (I admit it!)
Always doing research and looking for a great price on good parts. I am never one to whip out the Credit card and just buy new. I have a beautiful,supportive wife, and kids, so they take alot of money and the bike gets put to the back burner priority list! Sucks sometimes but thats the way it works! I need a front master cylinder, side covers, front tire,and there is more but that is it for now. Thanks for your help in advance! Jeff

Welcome Jeff...we are all a bunch of penny-pinchers here (some more than others:laugh: ) My list of 'wants' is much longer than my list of 'haves' so we are all pretty much in the same situation.:)

GAS RELIEF.....you should try living in the UK.
Diesel for my van just topped US$2.75 a litre.
How much is it there out of curiosity?

Welcome, Jeff.

Saving gas was the excuse I used on myself five years ago. I now know it's an incurable disorder!

Fourtoes, I'm sure it's somewhere in the range of $4.40 to $4.50 per gallon for road diesel. As I figure it, your price is $10.41 per US gallon. Ouch!
