Back when I had my old '91 GSX-R 750 about 9 years ago, I kept a running total. There came a point when it made me cry to look. I spent more than I ever should have on that bike and it pisses me off to this day.

I do have a mental running total for the Busa and TLR, and I'm sittin' pretty on both. I picked up the TLR for dirt cheap, so even with all the goodies I have on it, I have less in it than what I new one would have cost at the time.

Same here. I keep reciepts for all work pertaining to the bike, less fuel receipts. I should add them up.

I believe I could renovate my home for what you've spent on a motorcycle.

True. And I did and did. Then traded the bike in.

Shit, I've been waiting for that all freakin' summer.

If you get it, send some this way.

Hey, how hard was that throttle cable to do?

If you go with handlebars rather than just higher clip-ons, you will need longer cables, however. Preferably, you will buy mine.

How much you want for 'em? :D

Just to add to my list of mods: a complete fork rebuild/respring (x2) and a new front brake master cylinder and braided lines.

Each one of our vehicles has a spreadsheet with $$$, dates, miles, etc. Mark and I even each have a gear spreadsheet attached to our respective bike's sheet. :lol:
