The Green Machine

I finally put gas in the new motorcycle, thus enabling me to compute its gas mileage. It took just over 5.2 liters and the odometer was 158 kilometers. It came out to 29 kilometers per liter, or about 70 miles per gallon. And that is in stop-and-go city traffic.

Not too shabby.

It looks yellow.

I'll pretend that you didn't get my play on words... and explain to you that something that is environmentally friendly (such as a yellow motorcycle that gets really good gas mileage) is referred to as "green".

Actually, there are little green flecks in the paint, and when the sun hits the bike, it has a bit of a bright lime green tint to it. It's really cool.

ha ha; yes, I got your play on words; I was just trying to be funny again.
I should really stop.

I like that bike, it is badass.
