I don't get it; will someone please explain it to me.
Our neighbor just bought a brand new motorcycle, stating that with the cost of gas, he can't see driving his truck to town whenever he needs to go. I understand that an old truck (I'd guess his might be 10 years old, or so) will eat up more gas than a motorcycle. Fine. Can he haul bags of groceries on the bike? No. Can he haul lumber, a tool box, any large item, anything larger than a screwdriver, wrench or hammer on the bike? No. So, he'll still have to use the truck for those items, right? Granted his wife has a car & does the grocery shopping in it most times, but he's a handyman type of guy; HAS to have the truck to haul stuff. He just paid $13,000 for a motorcycle to save gas money. How many trips to Lowes will he have to make on the bike to make up for the money he'll save on gas? Doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's a man thing?!
Not my worry, I just find it puzzling.

There isn't always an explanation for things guys do. The gas prices, combined with the gas eating truck was all the leverage that he needed to get the motorcycle he's always wanted. Middle age crisis? Maybe. But, he got what he wanted. The rub comes in when he finds he doesn't like riding the motorcycle and has to continue riding it, because he'll hear about it if he doesn't. Life works that way.
Oh!
