I think about 75% or more of my annual miles are on the motorcycles. I just use the Ranger for bad weather and/or towing. It only goes 2,500 miles a year or less. My only car is the Corvette, so I guess that's my daily driver.

A loely, but very reliable '02 S10. We're 'truck people'.
Mrs 2LZ drives a very thirsty '97 K1500 Z71, for a daily commuter. She rides her Vic on all 'Casual Fridays'. She has to dress nice for work or she'd ride every day. I'm going to truly try to ride the Q for commuting now. The S10 is a small truck....but the big 4.3L V6 is no real miser....though very torquey.

Most days to work, it's on something invariably shaped like this,
 Winter months or monsoons see this, 05 Wrangler.  or this, 95 F150, 5.0 360,000 miles.  If I have an appointment of some sort during the workday, or have to be back home earlier than pedaling will allow, and the weather is nice, then it's this.

I ride my 08 KLR whenever and where ever I can
 . Though in the winter I drive a 2006 Pontiac G6 with Michelin snow tires. When my son and I go somewhere we take the car. We'll take the bike around town but I haven't had it on the highway with him yet. He's not as "into" bikes as I am

Nice looking Mustang. 8) I know what a 5.4 is, but what does P.I. mean? BTW, it looks like you're missing a lug nut on the front wheel.
Is that an Odyssey in the shed?

haha im really impressed that you picked that out, it was one. someone stripped it all down and put a 2stroke polaris motor on it. We ended up just tradeing it away.
And PI stands for Power Improved. There the late model modular ford 2 valve motors. The gave them bigger heads, cams, and intake from the factory. It made 200 hp, and 298 torque to the wheels, with all factory ford parts a few months ago, with the factory tune. |
