Having an alternative?!

I was listening to radio while drove to work this morning. The topic was about costs/energy saving was discussed on-air. Some of MNCs like HP and Google encourage their workers to take public transports to works, car pool, offer transport to workers, tele-conferencing to reduce the frequency of flying and more... There are just thousands of ways to reduce costs/ energy consumption during this petroleum soaring period.

Actually, i have been thinking to have a motorcycle as an alternative mode of transportation for myself since weeks ago. I think below would be the benefits if i adopt the new mode of transportation.

Benefits:
- Less petrol consume
- Maintenances costs are low
- Cheap road tax
- Cheap Insurance
- Increase mobility

But, I am EXPOSED while on the road!

Of course, I will consider this option seriously before making a decision.
