I had my choice between airplane or motorcycle, C150 sucks down 8 gallons an hour plus hanger rental, decided M/C was the better choice for my pocketbook.

Back in the 'day' I was buying air time in a C150 for $8.00 hour...got a little over 60 hours of my own time logged...never did take the flight portion of the test to get my license. Closest thing to the freedom of being up in the air quietly cursing is the quietly cursing on the motorcycle.

I ‘member those days. For me the C150 was $10/hr and the AA1A was $12. Instructor was $8.

I got about 50+ hours in C150 most of it solo. Didn't really do it to get my license, just wanted learn how to fly an airplane. Never much cared for my instructor. Not to long after I quit flying he had a stroke and they pulled his license. Airports all gone now and apartments and houses on that spot. I think I was paying bout 45.00 an hour.

I am old as the hills yet far younger than the mountains (which would probably include you).

My Cherokee is a different fun but my Slingshot is faster.

You win both ways. EjFord I'm 66.

War Hoop I understand that for every mile you drive the Slingshot you can subtract I hour of age --- in the last 4 years (since Feb 2015) that would be 73,000 hours. That would be 75 minus 8.3 = 66.7 hoping to be able to subtract another 2.28 years this riding season. ,,,, I'm lost I can't even keep up with how old I am any more....somebody check my profile....and let me know.

If your profile was filled out five years ago and never updated your 80 years old and still except birthday presents whenever someone gives you one no matter what time of year it is. Works for me.
