Um yea... I have a lot of shit on my bike and I have replaced components for "whimsical" reasons... Geez, he even keeps track of tires... I started to do this but I have no fucking idea! It's a lot, okay?

[BobTheBiker]

I keep track of every expense on my bikes, not just modifications. but I'm like that. plus its nice to have a log of what I've spent over time on the bike, and have it for if I sell it to give an idea what I've done.

1 set Pilot powers $258 + $30 M&B
9 quarts Screaming Eagle oil $63
3 oil filters $15 (estimate, I don't remember)

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.
