When I sell vehicles, I just tell them it's been taken care of and once they take it for a ride and check it out, they never ask for records..

IMO there's a diff between being organized and going overboard.

A few buddies do that for their bikes, I just started doing this last year on the priller, I just jot down the date, mileage and what was done in the shop manual. Seems easier than making all that stuff on the computer. I wish I had done it earlier on my bikes but I am not selling them anytime soon.
