Motorcycle mantiance Recording

[Cajun]

Okay people i am in the process of writing some software to record, information about mantaince of your motorcycle. Does anyone have any other ideas i could put in it?

Inital cost,
fuel cost, (record average milege per tank etc etc)
serving costs, with information
tire useage(kms per tires etc etc)
You will be able to export/import data

Any one have any other ideas they would like to see in a program to keep a record of motorcycle costs for them??

Why on earth would you want to know that???

Imagine if this information fell into the wrong hands

How about

Reg
WoF
Monthly payments (optional)
gear tracking.. i.e. last helmet was 5 years old etc.

hmmmm yup its going to have a wof section, so you can record stuff like that, also if it fails for something record that.


Gear tracking is something else i could add

I have a programme I use, and it also records:
Insurance cost, Rego, WOF etc.
The system adds all the cost up (running tally), and tells me what service items are due when (Date and Klm). :spudwave:

Excellent!

Yeah but what about keeping the information from yourself?

Helmet age? Hmm, check fashionability, check flash new helmet you want.

Of course it needs replacing! & what about those boots with the endangered species sliders?

is that http://www.ftwo.com/ program??

thats only one i really seen around, but i must say i not looked for one inabout 1 1/2 years

Yeah thats a great idea cajun. I already use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all the petrol I use. It automatically calculates the litres/100 kms etc for my bike and all that crap.

Are you goin to do it via a database or something like that? Would be very helpful. Just make sure you can track multiple bikes with one file.

Yeah i use excel currently as well i have recorded everything i have done to my bike with dates, since 0kms

Yeah it will use a datafile back end, not really big enough to use a database, it will support multiple bikes, since i have multiple bikes i want to keep track off

No ......I made it myself, pretty basic really , just an Excel spreadsheet with some formulas. The trick was getting the original information into each spreadsheet, and then setting up a formula to count down months/ klm.

Really only good for personal use for keeping an eye on the costs for our two bikes, and as a reminder for servicing items - i.e brake fluid evey two years/ km 12,000 etc.

Thanks for the link - I would be interested to see if there are any other good program's, I could only find ones for car costs.
