just like harley did a few years ago when they  did it with there bikes are the high gas prices going to lead to another market flood of other bikes? Alot of people at least here in california have been buying bikes to commute i think after awhile of the day to day riding alot of those will be for sale in 2-3 winters. any thoughts?

Can we try again in legible English?  What is it with all these people who think they're s****th? <---------------- shhhhhhhh incognito.

There is no doubt that ridership is up due to high gas prices.  However, last I checked, at least fatality data tracks perfectly with increased usage.  i.e. the people who are picking up the hobby are no less likely to suck at it than those picking it up in previous years.  It might be a stretch to say that this means just as many will decide to stick with it, but I'm not sure.

I say, the more bikes, the better.  Less congestion, lower fuel consumption, and at least when I get hit by an idiot on a GS500 instead of an idiot driving a Cadillac Escalade, I have a chance at survival! 

Not to mention that inexperienced motorcyclists who 'buy-n-ride' with little thought for the consequences don't typically re-sell their bikes... they total them with the insurance company. 

I guess time will tell. 

and more parts show up either here, its related forums, or ebay  , and Buddha Loves You steals err buys tehm all lmao at word filters
