Spend on biking so far
Bought the SV back in Aug 2005 (First bike) paid £1500 with 1900 miles on the clock, since then i have spent a further £865 on mods.
Didn't realise it was that much but i have just being adding it up  Also spent another £746 on kit and £110 on luggage. |

add to that perhaps another £10k for my own mileage, five rear tyres, 3 fronts, about 10 services (oil/filters), couple of pairs of gloves, textile trousers,new boots,new lid,new bike bodywork (OK secondhand off Ebay), two sets of throttle bodies (wanted to play) and a spare wiring loom, standard throttle, chain & sprockets, rear wheel bearings, chain adjuster tool, carbtune 2, rocker cover, rear hub, and a couple of sets of engine bolts ( 1 x red / 1 x stainless), two clock surrounds, new heel plates, rearsets, tuneboy, the list goes on, and on, and on  I'm sure there's more but you get the idea, have I got a problem perhaps, but one I'm more that happy to live with. Cheers Mark.

I think I'd probably throw myself off a building if I added it up.
