thought provoking

You're going to be one of those beardy old men who works out his average fuel consumption for every trip when you get older, aren't you.

[kev]

Why did you change your fork seals 4 times?

[Crash it for fun]

Looks like you spent about a grand for the parts,labour,etc

[Danny]

Interesting stuff Goosey.

I reckon I've spent about £250 on my GPz550 so far getting it back on the road and general stuff. Although sorting the brakes seems to be getting expensive.

[jam_uk]

Need new shocks on my CB400... Could go for some really crap Hagons for £101, or Ohlins for £400+.. Why can't there be anything in between!! I don't know if I can get my Showas rebuilt but that will probably be £250+ anyway.

All this on a student budget of £4k/year!

Now this is why I wouldn't necessarily encourage new bikers to go out and buy an old heap as you all keep recommending.
The time and money spent on fixing it up and continuous maintenance works out more expensive in my opinion, especially if you have to take time off work!

And a new comer could get conned on the parts and labour by garages because he doesn't know the prices etc.
I'm not saying you should change your tune, just let people know what owning a pile of crap involves

I know what you mean about looking at statements.....I clocked up over £200 worth of pay as go credit last month by topping up with my debit card and I wish I hadn't looked now

[McJamweasel]

£200 on your fone??

Feck me - you should stop calling those chat lines!
