It's summer, oil disaster, gas is going up...so what!

[peternap]

Except for hauling things, I don't use much fuel in the summer and since gas is going to go up a lot this year, I'm gonna be especially stingy.

I have a Motorcycle I don't ride much and a Whizzer. I ride it every day. Jane has one too but decided she didn;t like it...so, I got her a Yamaha Vino for mothers day. No tags or insurance needed, plenty of power and gets 110 miles to the gallon (So they say).

The Grand Kids like it too




Of course, I still have my Whizzer

I'll take the armed Wizzer, thanks.

It makes for  kinder and gentler traffic.

Very nice!

I have always been a Schwinn nut. I'm one of the last factory trained mechanics before they shut it all down in Chicago. That one looks new, I didn't know they were making them again. I had a mid-40's one when I still had the shop. A classic!

It's an NE5. Unfortunately, the company changed the design and the engine so these aren't available any longer.
The new engines have a LOT of problems and IMO, they ruined the nostalgic appearance of the newer ones.

Jame had a yellow NE5 but just couldn't get the hang of peddling to start. We gave it to our son this evening.
