Default Bike year stats 2011

so end to another year, a bit more downtime than I'd have liked, but these things can't be helped, here are some numbers for the past 12 months of my motorbiking year.

33, 741 miles
336 tanks of fuel (approx £7,050)
5 rear and 3 front tyres
9 services
£215 in spares (excluding current duke needs)

So anyone else keep a record ?

Cheers Mark

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...

yeah all this year, about 9k down on last year, but that's reflected in the injured knee getting gradually worse I'd guess.

Default 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!
