It’s a fact that more people are looking for ways to save money on gas. A lot of people are turning to motorcycles. All of us who ride know we can go just as far on a $12 in a bike than $60 or more in a car. More people turning to motorcycles for transportation also means crashes involving motorcycles are on the rise.

The video below is from Arkansas, but I still think it’s beneficial to everyone looking to purchase a motorcycle to combat gas prices. They give some important tips for staying safe while riding.

I know now that our motorcycle is out of commission for the next couple of months we’re really feeling the pinch. I’ve had to cut out a lot of extras to be able to afford the extra gas in our Blazer. Before if I needed to run out to get something like an HDMI switch we’d take the bike and throw it under the seat or in the backpack. Now I have to hold off on single item purchases and make a trip to the store when I need a bunch of things. I just can’t afford to run out in the Blazer for every little thing.
