extra cost of owning a scoot

[speedscooter]

When I bought my met, I was thinking I only need to get a helmet. Since then I have spent an additional $995.00 dollars on the following items

2 Helmets
1 handle bar clock
1 leather riding jacket
1 kitaco variator
1 set of ncy rollers
1 set of clutch springs
1 10w40 oil
1 oil measuring cup
1 irriduim spark plug
1 roll pin stripes
1 inner basket
1 windshield

This is becoming an expensive hobby. but one I can not quit.

God help me when its time to buy a motorcycle.

wow yeah that is a lot of money but when you see that amount is stretched over all of those items then really it's much much cheaper than having to buy parts, like you said, for a motorcycle or even yet for a car.

I am in the same boat you are in except that I am to chicken to add up what I have spent. A couple f helmets, a rack for my scooter, a trunk to put on the rack (neither of which have arrived yet) and various stickers and miscellaneous stuff. But in my humble opinion, all worth it because I am having so much fun.
;D

i didnt have to worry about the helmets and most riding gear as i all ready had that stuff
i dont want to add up what ive spent any where the wife can see it but as long as its less then 1200 im still money ahead in what ive saved in gas
then i have a 2 stroke so throw in 4 quarts of amsoil for the first 4 months

I haven't really bought anything yet for my Met, just the helmet and oil. And gasoline, of course.
