Bike year stats 2011

Re: Bike year stats 2011
21kms. 0 tyres. No laps of the 'Ring. Just used the fuel in the tank.
Sold 2.7 bikes, mainly early 2011. Bought 2 bikes at the end of the year. Roll on 2012. Stats will be eye watering no doubt... |

just about getting there mate, out on the bike since wednesday, but somewhere inbetween bearable and comfortable, still not up to working on the superduke just yet, but the S4 is running fine so no rush there just yet. Cheers Mark.

Re: Bike year stats 2011
With moving house last year my biking was cut short as i sold up to help the move.
At begining of year i know my ZX7R track bike cost me £234 which included getting it road worthy, insuring it, taxing it and 3 tanks of fuel. Only reason it was so cheap was due to selling lots of parts. Then when moved bought a new GSR 750 which to date has cost;- Fuel - £56 Optimiser - £20 Tank Pad - £10.98 Paddock stands - £48 Cover - £11.98 Paddock Stand Bobbins - £22 Tail tidy - £50 Crash bungs - £56 Fork sliders - £20 Indicators - £32 Insurance - £181.32 Anchor - £28 3 Payments - £333 Total £869.28 Why did i but a new bike??? Its cost me a fortune for 3 months!!! And it needs an exhaust. I keep telling the wife this but she thinks its more important to buy things for my unborn 3rd child!! Women! |
