But how many of those 76000 miles have you really enjoyed, and where have you been, that's far more important 
I've got all the receipts for the Donkey,and if you think I'm going to add them all up,you're going to have a long wait.
PS It's had more than 50 back tyres,pick the bones out of that

That's the main thing....the rest, to me anyway, is irrelevant
(not knocking you for it BTW...I just don't understand it
)Vern....50 rear tyres?? That must be almost 60k miles for you??
Cuz it's a real handful to ride on the rims

Nice one Hodge, would have been a shit load more if you had it serviced at a dealer.

my '01 1150 has done around 90,000 and I really dont think I have spent £1000 on it in the 60,000 I have had it.
I bought a job lot of 'H' rated Tourances from Germany for £100 pr have had to change 1 final drive bearing (£18),1 set of pads and a throttle cable set(£45).
Still on original front discs but put a 2nd hand 1100s one on the back that I had lying around.
Have changed 2 fuel filters 2 air filters and a few sets of plugs and also changed oil and filters at 6000 miles
3 x Mots at £20 (my mates shop, he also gave me a box of oil filters that he didn't think he would ever use) Twist and Go, Hatfield
Finally - I had to change 2 low beam light bulbs and one speedo bulb.
Sad thing is, is that it actually runs as good as the '05 1150GSA I bought last week. (and I prefer higher top gear)
