Triumphrat

ljnichols · 04-29-2008

So I received my tax check from good old George this weekend. Picked up the Mobil 1 oil, Triumph filter and fork gaiters from my dealer. Then I stopped at Sears and purchased the aluminum lift and some other tools (yes, I'm a girl and I love tools). I did the oil change and plan on installing the gaiters on the next day that's too rainy to ride. I know some folks are against the tax rebate and I do question where it is coming from but right now I'm pretty happy about it---this is NOT going to be a cheap hobby is it.

yeah its not a cheap hoby your off to a good start doing your own work, you can buy bits slowly as u can afford it so that will ease the pain, but the reward in the long run when you have your bike set up and looking cool will be well worth the effort, doing your own work servicing and fitting your bike out is half the fun, women usually miss that aspect of ownership.

I haven't gotten mine yet! I did spend a hefty portion of my tax return for mods. This time, the wife has the say so! Oh well, I'm still happy. It is an expensive hobby, but still well worth it! Congrats.

At least you get something back.Over here "Bottler" Brown has just abolished the 10% tax band so low wage earners and pensioners pay about £200 per annum MORE tax.

Happy spending.

I figure a new ft tire & a re-up on the insurance. They are both due!!

Sorry to say mine is already spent. I know where it's coming from, us tax payers pockets! Remember it's your money your getting back! Maybe I can squeeze a set of M bars out of it. Do they come in black.

I'm going to return every cent of it right back into our economy . . . . at Beemers!

Good for you doing your own work, I would suggest getting a manual if you don't have one and you can always get lots of info here if you sift it first.

I had grander plans, but these **** responsibilities and obligations keep knocking at my door...
