The Great KB Spend-a-thon 2009

[Tank]

This is inspired by the thread started by "Winter" back in 2007. (In fact its a cut / paste).

I thought it worth re-doing. Perhaps if the $$$ value is big enough some suppliers who dont activly support KB may start doing so. Feel free to backdate to Jan 1 2009.

The Great KB Spend-A-Thon 2009

The idea of this thread is to gauge how much the KB community is worth to the New Zealand motorcycle industry.

So, everytime you purchase some kit, pay for services from a shop (excluding fuel) come and post the amount here.

Let us know what it was for, if you like, and the total.

I'll try keep track of it all and provide totals every month, and at the end of the quarter we can see the big dollar!

If you are spending money Internationally (ebay, crusercustomizing etc) please mention it in your post - I will split out the spend. It will be interesting to see just how much $$$ is going offshore.


EDIT: Winters thread came up with a total of $158,091.18 for the Month of Aug 2007. It will be interested to see how it being biking season makes a difference.

$1500 in parts for my race bike thus far (payday is tomorrow, yay!), $400 more to go when I get paid.

This is an expensive month though, and it's hopefully never going to be repeated.

I cant see why we shouldn't include it.

Its an indication of what KB'ers spend on bike gear.

As an idea - if you make a purchase internationally please mention it in your post - I will split out the spend with the totals.

I will edit the original post to reflect this.
