You might ask yourself if I'm serious but, I'm really into saving money. I understand the innate drive to find the lowest price on anything and everything I'm buying. I think for me, it's probably a genetic mutation but I really don't care. I'm self insured, so I have a system where I get at least 3 prices for everything including medical and dental costs for me, my current wife, our 6 kids and the 4 kids I have between 2 ex-wives. You can see why I need to be thrifty. I recently bargained for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy and got $18.53 off the combined price because I got both on the same visit. It's easy to save money, all you have to do is ask! Sure, it takes a heck of a lot of time, but at least I know I've gotten the best price. Out on the bike, I drive all around the county til I find the lowest gas price. The way I figure it, if I save $.05 per gallon, I've saved $.25 or $.30 and as much as I ride, the savings can add up fast! We change the oil and filter about 3 times a year and if we can save $5.00 each time, well, you do the math! I really, really wanted a total frame off fully rebuilt and restored vintage CB750 but I settled on just riding my sons CB11. The best money saving deal yet! But, satirically speaking, that's probably just me. To each his own, I say.
