Hell, I can remember when a gallon of gas was $.25 cents and when cigarettes were $.23 cents a pack. At his age Jocko should be in that museum.

I worked at a gas station when regular was 28 and High Test was 32 cents and people would peel out all pissed off cause the prices were so high.
Like to see that again.

I was managing a gas station when I was 18 yrs. old. People used to skip in line, and I would have to tell them that they had to go to the back of the line, and they were taking a chance on getting shot. I was shot at twice. Gas was 23 nine, and we had lines a quarter mile long. People would bring their boats full of gas cans to fill up.
Must have been during the so called gas shortage, all the rationing and stuff.
Once the price hit a buck suddenly there was all kinds of gas. Go figure.

we sold Mobil gas for over 70 years, and I can remember back "when" Mobil would call us and say, gas was going up 2 cents next week and we thought the world was gonna end with that increase. Nopw the stations in Terre Haute, take 3 5-50 cents jumps pretty often, seems like every Thursday they go uo (all of them) 25 cents ad then two days later drop back 20 cents. course I can remember when we sold cigs for 29 cents and a full carton for 2.75$ nd thought back then people were nuts paying that. Co8rse we also sold Goodyear tires for over 70 years and back 50+ years uwerelucky if you got 10K mle son a set of tires and 10K miles on a set of plugs. Very common toda to get 50K miles on tires and never having tochange plugs PERIOD. Just sayin
Well today I had the dent doctor come to my home to see if he could taqke a big dent out of my Haely Gas tank thatwas vandalized down in Naples, Fl. and I didn't know it until I got home ad started to detail it. No luck, .The fella trold me up front that mychances were slim andnone as the tanks are so strong that any times it just pulls the paint off. Yup it sure, did. so I am out 2500$ for a newScreamin eagle tank for my streetglide. FOKK
. My PM9 has over 40,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Their plan worked. Condition the sheeple to accept insane prices for fuel they can't live without. They'll get used to it.
I remember a year ago costing me sometimes 130 or 140 bucks to fill my van, a few times in the last several months I filled it for less than 30. You feel blessed but your still paying 130 to 150 a gallon.
Same applies to new cars, had a salesman tell me I should buy a new car more often, the sticker shock wouldn't be so bad.
Told him if I ever bought a new car I won't live long enough to pay the stupid thing off.
Just look for the union label ya know?
I'd love to find the perpetrator or perpetrators that damaged your bike Jocko. I'd dry their hides on your garage door and make an example out of them. I got a low tolerance for malicious mischief that accomplishes nothing but anguish for the victim.
