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.
