+Rockin Roddy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 Did I mention I got lost and circled the stupid place in a slow spiral? The good news is that I just had a tune-up and am realizing a few more mile per gallon!! Oh, and that blonde...priceless!!! She was going faster than I cared to push my bike, but I stayed with her for a sec or two!! ;-) Quote
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Ok, new guess: 1) 297 miles round trip 2) 7 gallons of gas Quote

How about 277 miles and 7 gallons of gas Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 288 miles and 6 gallons assumng you rode the motorcycle and didn't drive the jeep..... Quote
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Another try: 1) 290 miles 2) 6 and 1/2 gallons of gas Quote
+Koolbrez Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Watch this to check your awareness. I missed it. We all should be more aware of everything especially bikers! Quote
+surteb Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I am so sorry for your loss, Rod. Thanks for the cointests to make everyone more aware. 1. 338 miles 2. 8 gallons of gas Quote
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Watch this to check your awareness. I missed it. We all should be more aware of everything especially bikers! I love that video. It's so fun to show it to people and see the look on their faces at the end. Quote
Maine Family Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 To answer your first question. My grandson who is 3 and a half spots them a long ways away because of the headlights. The car who pulled out in front of Tod probably would of pulled out in front of a mac truck because they weren't paying attention. Didn't have the mind on the road and that usually is what happens. We had a biker killed a few years ago up here and it was caused by an impatient young driver. It is still being very controversial and because it is talked about we up here are aware of bikers. But they only bike here a couple months and then they put them away so in the spring or usually summer there is awareness ads on tv for a public service announcement. There is still the ride in memory of Griff but it still comes down to keeping your mind on what your doing. But here we know it happens so that makes most of us much more aware than we was before. I would continue doing what your doing with the coins but the community needs to be reminded it does happen where they live. We lived like the saying, it happens some where else not here. Once we knew it does happen here it made a big difference. Now my guess would be according to mapquest if I figured out where you went would be 454.18 miles and now I have to guess on gallons of gas so I will say 10 gallons. Doesn't sound right to me but oh well. I am really sorry to here about your friend. Quote
xboxcrazy33 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Another try: 317 miles round trip Approximately 6 gallons of gas Quote
+Rockin Roddy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 One of the answers is correct, many of you have that!! I was on the bike too!! Maine Family....too far!! ;-) Quote
+Rockin Roddy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Posted August 24, 2008 240 miles and 6 gallons. Maine Family....too low! But good on the gallons! I have 5 more activated, 9 to go I think!! My hope is to get over 100 coins traveling all with bike awareness as their message!! I'll certainly need a lot of help! I'm also going to a local sign maker (makes signs on that corrugated plastic) with a picture of Tod and his 9 yr old on his bike. I want a sign made (around 36"x24"???) with that pic and the words "Todie asks that you PLEASE WATCH FOR BIKES". Should cost around $20 per sign, I might have a couple made...one for me and one for Tod's mom. I would URGE anyone with the resources to have a bike awareness sign made or, if you can find them, purchase one and display it!! Quote
