- August 08, 2017, 02:07:58 AMOh well, I must admit that I started to spend some time for doin' mods to ma-deuce on my own, after I found this great Forum.
So, it's just 4 years... I can estimate the cost of my time is $0: and the reason why is that I love to spend my time with the bike!
And about the money I spent, I didn't keep track too, and for the same reason...

Didn't keep track of the $ spent OR the time (for good reasons, LOL), but here's a wild guess...
$8500 on the 800
$8000 on the 1500

So today my neighbour was giving me a ride to get some groceries, now understand he has no knowledge of motorcycles other than what he gleaned from me and you know that is not much. We chanced to see aRV with a pair of H-D's on the trailer behind it and he asked me what the value was on the trailer. So I quoted what I thought was a reasonable price, he then asked me if the load on GreenBarn's trailer was the same or far higher.
We all sadly know that the resale on a H-D and a Drifter are not the same. But I thought it might be interesting to take a number like say $15.00 per hour, and have people do the math on how much time they figure that they have invested in their bike or bikes and not normal maintenance but the other things you have done to make your machine yours. Might run into some serious numbers.
