#1 Washington Post, Rise of Motorcycles Article06-25-2008, 01:10 AM
The Washington Post just recently publish and article by Jonathan Mummolo who discusses the increase in motorcycling as commuters try to save on gas.
Although you get your stereotypical reference to the rebellious outlaw image of the 60's and 70's, Mr. Mummolo recognizes that this is changing and the economic and convenience factor of two wheels is slowly becoming a massive driving force.
It also mentions that as the economy grows tighter, new bike sales are generally slowing but 250's are selling out like hot cakes.
Quote and article link below:
---------------------------
"But as commuters seek relief from rising fuel costs and worsening congestion, what might have seemed like a foolish risk of youth -- braving highway and rush-hour traffic on two wheels -- might seem like a worthwhile trade-off."
