gotta agree with everyone on this one. With diesel closing in at $5 it's much less painful to fill the TBA or my Tiger. The bonus is I am much more relax when I arrive at work after riding the bike. The only problem is I don't want to stop riding to go to work

The price of oil doesnt make sense, even OPEC says that. Un regulated oil speculation is driving it up, and speculators have little on the line to play this game. Add in an unwillingness to produce your own, well, we have get what we deserve. I would only hope that we enjoy the riding and forget the prices, its a lot cheaper than a night at the movies, and MUCH more satisfying ( and as the operator, we control where we go ).
Personally, I would LOVE to see a MAJOR oil discovery somewhere just offshore in an easy to reach unprotected place, or for peace to break out all over the Mideast, JUST to see these speculators lose their shirts on the oil market. Any more, with the rising consumption (even in Saudi Arabia), it's not speculation, it's just profiteering, since there is little to no risk of the oil price plummeting to, say, $50 a barrel or something like that, as is the case with other speculating (like crops where weather can wipe out your futures in a heartbeat or bolster them).
