It will take years to save enough on fuel (unless your drive a Dodge Viper) to regain the monies lost in the ownership expenses for a bike.
Someone.... needs to go back to school. Are you 16 too?  |
Yes I'm 16 and have a wife and child
you are clearly on this forum a lot....
Ok are we talking on top of the truck? Or from what it sounds like he would have bought something else as well as his truck. That is where I was coming from.
He bought the bike for like $1500. How many miles does he commute. What does his truck get (MPG)? If his truck gets 15 MPG and hes driving a good amount, then he will make up that initial cost very quickly. Bikes are cheap to maintain and insure. Of course it is going to generally be more to have two vehicles. but you are ignorant of the kids whole situation so its pretty silly to tell him what is the best thing to do...
Look at that, one can respond without name calling. Amazing.
