Just curious how many folks track how many $$$$$ they have spent on their scooters. Not what did you pay for, but what you got in it, excluding routine maintenance? Was looking thru receipts the other day and it seems true - buy a Harley and then spend enough to buy another one, to make it your own....



Personally, I keep my receipts but avoid adding them up. I quickly get to $5K plus when I just cover the major stuff. Audio $2k, 21" wheel $1k, grips, mirrors, levers, brake and clutch covers $450ish, exhaust a bargain at $400, FP3 and Intake $700, cams etc $400, seats $750ish...

In the grand scheme, it doesn't matter to me, but it certainly does add up!

 

You hit the nail on the head!! I've added a windshield, pipes, bags, air scoop, foot pegs, lights and god knows what else?? And I have a wish list.

 

Even though I was told not to I did anyway and I am glad that I did. I have a picture and a price and a receipt of every thing my bike has on it stored in a folder. I took that folder with me to the insurance agent and made sure every nut bolt and doo-dad was covered. If my bike ever gets totaled out the insurance will pay for the bike and the modifications as well.

 

I do.

I track each and every ride, keep track of milestones, log each dollar spent on accessories and maintenance as well as every drop of gasoline. I am coming up on the one year anniversary of owning our 2016 and plan to make a post with data.

Just something I like to do.

 

I don't keep a running total but I have a thick folder of receipts in case I ever need it. Sometimes I wonder what I've spent on the bike but there's always something better to do than math.

 

I try to keep track but never added it all up.Funny thing is ,when I have to spend money on my truck it hurts.When I spend the same amount on my bikes,it never does.

 

I keep a spreadsheet for each bike. It's all fun and games until you realize that I have enough in mods on both bikes that I could have bought a third bike.

 

Got every receipt for every bike, part and accessory scanned and backed up, got every cent spent in my personal Quicken file, including gas purchased. I can print up a report in 10 seconds, but I'm afraid to look and I'd rather not know.

 

I don't track and I don't do spreadsheets of every dime spent on my bikes, but I do keep a copy of the receipts for service and repairs made in a folder for each bike....

 

I've never tracked what I spend my money on but I know in my lifetime, I've "wasted" a lot on different stuff.

On my bike, I've added Stage 1, sissy bar, bags, chrome covers, passenger foot peg brackets and just this week, handlebar and risers.
