Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

£200 yesterday on tyres
£200 this weekend on a respray for a petrol tank
£280 in a week for a service on the Z1000SX

and the Insurance is up on the zx6r at the end of July

You not going to try to sell the tyres and recoup a bit ??

I find i always come up with bright ideas for spending money and it seems to always clash when i need to pay for tyres or insurance.

The front tyre needed replacing because it's done too many miles.

The rear needed replacing because it had a 3 inch screw in it. The tyre is ripped now so I would be able to sell it.

I should get some money back when I sell the other petrol tank off the zx6r.

Jesus Kwacky that is a lot to spend in a matter of a week!! What wil you do with the ZX6R insurance? Will you renew it or wait it out until project is finished?

I'll insure it. I need to get my finger out and get it finished. Once I've got the petrol tank back I've got no excuse.

Brilliant Kwacky. Have you got a time period yet of when you'd like to see it finished?

End of July is what I'm aiming for. The painter said the tank will take two to three weeks. That said I seem to have something on every weekend for July.

Guess its nice to be busy, maybe August then. Would be nice to see it out again at ride outs

It'll be nice to ride it again. I think I've forgotten how to

Hahaha!! It will prob feel strange at first...just means you won't be as fast when you first hop on hehe!!

£200 tyres for the sx
£200 paint job for the zx6r
£300 service for the sx (maybe more, not sure yet - rear tyre to be fitted and needed a new air filter)
£250 insurance for the zx (est)
£100 front tyre fior the zx (est)
£200 service of the zx (est)
£200 parts for the zx (est)

£1,450 in one month.

Balls.

Crikey that's some bill mounting up

It's shit, but on the plus side both bikes will be up and running and I won't have to spend anything for a while (I hope).

I might be able to get some money back by selling the damaged zx6r petrol tank and plastics.

Wow big bill to swallow. I guess as you say nothing to pay out for another 12 months and you know both bikes are in A1 condition.

Jesus Kwacky that's a hell of a lot to spend! I'm sure it will be worth it when you get the ZX up and running again.

I might have to sell the ninja to afford it
