    The Great KB Spend-A-Thon: August 07

    Allright everyone:

    The Great KB Spend-A-Thon


    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 few days, and at the end of the month we can see the big dollar!


    We can backdate this one to the start of August, and it will close on the last day of the month.

    Does it include actual bike purchases? If so I just scraped in on the 1st
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Pity it's only the start of August, or I could add another $1500 to that total.

    A universal dream of greatness is that
    We push ourselves to the limit
    Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
