With price of gas going into the stratosphere, more people want to save money, and riding a bike is a good way to do it. They get excellent mileage. I have a friend who commutes about 80 miles a day, and he drives his Harley sportster, and gets at least 60 miles to the gallon. That's darned good mileage! harley sportster, harley motorcycles blog I was spending some time reading a Harley motorcycles blog to see if I would benefit from having a bike, because I like to take summer trips to the nearby mountains. Years ago, I had a bike, but that was when I lived in the country and if I passed a car every five minutes, it was heavy traffic. Now I live in a crowded city with tons of traffic, and I value my health and safety. After reading that I could take advanced classes in motorcycle technique, I've decided to look around for a Harley sportster, too, and start taking weekend trips to the mountains to see the scenery and cool off.
