use the wife's reasoning, (or at least my wife's...it was on sale... look how much YOU saved!) so say "I can't believe I saved us $975 this winter!" (fuel cost)

You'd be a welcome addition to the already incredible SoCal group, yo.

Very welcome, indeed. We'll hoist a cool refreshing beverage in your honor while we're painting LV red.

I remember Christmas Eve like it was yesterday...oh...those were the days...

Ok my math is flawed... +400 (and a bit of shipping too)

Was actually keeping that one secret so the guys would think I just knew how to ride better this year...

(guess I should fess up on some $$ I spent on some Rizoma mirrors, billet counter sprocket cover, pusher clutch cover? ok ok....add another $1000 with fork work)

My Corbin seat is not here yet so it does NOT count....

sorry honey... yes you can have new carpet in the house this year....
 
I remember that first winter all too well myself. I believe the credit cards do too.

That will require a new thread AND a new photo gallery

(btw are they ever going to fix the one here?)

I suppose I could do a short photo shoot of all the upgrades and associated costs.. with some help, we could do an entire DIY book

try doing trackdays. I spent over $8,000 in gas, tires, and entry fees in 2007. This is all money out the window!
