Saturday 7 June 2008


Saturday and the day starts with The Saturday Morning Show on Castledown Radio, although I must admit it was not one of my best. Too tired, what with everything going on.

Went out to Basingstoke to Motts Motorcycles to look at jackets, nice all black one for 80 quid, still prefer the Bourne Valley Bikes one. So went back to BVB! Bought the jacket, Tuzo (see pic above, jacket as per the one the bloke is wearing, no it is not me!), same as the gloves, and the wife bought me a red rolling tool box system that the guy was selling off cheap, result! Now the garage is looking like a real bike shop...

Time to talk cost's, so just how much has the bike cost so far:


  • Cost of bike, with MOT for one year, and tax 'til September, £600.00

  • Cost of Box Wired Helmet Nitro, Gunmetal, Medium, Ebay, £40.00

  • Cost of Red Coyote Black Touring Motorcycle Leather Boots size 8, Ebay, £40.00

  • Cost of Gloves, BVB, £20.00

  • Cost of Jacket, BVB, £80.00

  • Total to date: £780.00.

Well that's either a bargain way to save petrol or nearly eight hundred quid down the drain! Talking of petrol bought my first tank full on the way home last night, cost £11.00, don't know how many miles that was. Must try and find out.
