2007 FJR1300AE: First Month's Costs

[madmike2]

I'd like to think we're helping the economy with all this spending!

Well, there's that and......

it just feels so danged good riding the bike after I've personalized it to my liking!

W/O getting down to the nitty, I've got ~$1250.00 worthy of goodies sittin' here in a box ready to go on and another ~$1835.00 on order that I'm waiting for, and I AIN'T EVEN GOT MY BIKE YET!! ...& I know better'n to think I'm even close to 'done' [whatever the hell that is], ...but having over the years made silk purses of several [basket case] sows ears, I'm not in a state of shock over it. Also, since there's no S.O. I don't have to justify it to anyone but my own sefff!

I need to set some higher goals....

I need to set some higher goals....

Hey, just tell the wife she's better be glad you didn't buy a Harley...

$175 for a chrome shift rod

$265 for two chrome covers for the rear hubs

$300 for the front fork stabilizer (hey, at least that one's useful!)

$700 for the Mustang seat, pillon pad and Harley luggage rack, backrest and pad (ok, maybe it was more...)

Only $450 for the saddlebags...got them at Leatherneck Jim's.com <BG>

And $400 for an LED taillight.... not H-D, tho....

$600 for exhaust system ( but it's one of the nicest Harley you'll ever hear! <G>

$200 for a round piece of chrome to cover the K&N....

and the list goes on!

And NON of that is safety equipment...

and we won't count the 7 pairs of boots, 8 jackets, 4 helmets or God knows how many t-shirts!

Oh, and I still have a hugger for the 05 FJR I sold... the fiberglass one...IF I can get back to Ohio to get it before my buddies friggin wife throws it away...

See.... even without an FJR, they cost me money!! <ROFFL>

I never did add up what I spent on the FJR in one year... I was afraid to!

Didn't spend as much of the Triumph...just under $1000...but ...that needs farkled too! <G>

My wife and I each have our own FJR, that means every farkle costs twice as much. But then I don't get much grief about spending money on the bikes.

$16,028, eh? Perhaps a way to smooth the waters is to take your wife into a BMW dealer and take a look at the price of a K1200LT ($21,520), and that's before the farkles!
