The idea is to get a indication of the $$$ KB'ers pump into the motorcycle industry - so yes.

Unless you are talking branded t-shirts etc

New front fork about 2 hours ago. (Old one pitted, not bent!).
$450 plus labour ... call it $500.

Gahh! Adding up everything I spend on motorcycles and the act of motorcycling? I think not. Suffice it to say my annual investment probably rivals the GDP of Burkina Faso. Ownership of a small African country is reward in itself, without having to know the full extent of the carnage.

**noobi** · 15th January 2009, 15:29

$230 for a pressure suit, and $20 for some mx socks from cycletreads

**Tank** · 15th January 2009, 15:36

I thought I would be lazy and do running totals every now and again.

So far $40621 (including 2 bikes of $22,500)

I did my big spend-up in December on having the engine of my bike replaced - something I hope never to repeat! So far in 2009 (incredibly) I have spent nothing on my bike!

If I get to the end of January without buying anything but fuel it will be a miracle!
