I think the title says it all but to add a little more context:

We look at the "Toys" added, The Servicing, The Repairs and Renewals, etc. of my daily commuter motorcycle over the last 14 years.

The Total Cost Of Ownership includes everything including depreciation. Note due to the mileage I was using about £100 - £130 ($125 - $150) of petrol per month.


Oops, sorry about some of the typos on the video...

I loved the line “ this is the worse traffic……”. Made me laugh that looks like paradise compared to Los Angeles traffic. Nice video, bike looks well taken care of and clearly up to the task for years.

You have to remember that I was in a small village of about 1,000 people, not the tens millions who live in Los Angeles (or Paris). For the ring road around Paris, which I fought with virtually everyday for 12 years, have a look at this:

All I can say is that it takes balls to filter thru traffic like that! Ride of the Valkyries indeed!
