    Costs to own the coolest bike ever made!

    Bought the bike in 2005 after selling my AT. Being a bit of a control freak, I keep record of most things and thought this is pretty interesting to share, i.e. 1. Service book; 2. Expenses (Exludes fuel & includes VAT.) 3. The MACHINE!! Use it, don't use it & enjoy!
