WHO BOUGHT WHAT TAX MONEY new bike?
 
if you got a new bike, some upgrade goodies, new gear, lets hear it! i hit the honda shop today for some parts. almost purchased a new lid. loved all is metalic metal flake graphics but i just didnt think it would look right if i end up blacking out my bike. and the fact that my alpine stars leather is solid black.

Um tax money? Think the envelope from the IRS will contain an audit notice this year (actually damn sure it will) :p

Luckily I can cover it :D

kilgoretrout 02-18-2010 09:55 PM

^^ Haha!! Nice one, Kuro.... :D

I didn't really use my return money to buy my new tires, sprockets, battery, tools, stands, etc.. (Or the new gear and bags I haven't quite decided on yet). But... it may have made the decision to get all this stuff a little easier.... :icon_teeth:

I've thought about buying a new bike.... but.... I don't really need it.

marc0011 02-18-2010 10:39 PM

How is it you guys get money back? I owe money to Uncle Sam AND DC!! I have the max taken out of my checks... what gives!!! I'm even including the interest payments for my school loans. I guess it's a crime to be single, no kids, and not own a house. Glad I could help you guys out with buying your toys ;) .

CBRfenatic93 02-18-2010 11:01 PM

Dont feel bad marc0011. Im married and we both work. She claims 0 and i claimed 1 for like 6 months and we will be lucky if we dont owe. I dont know what we did different from last year but we are getting screwed.

RojerLockless 02-19-2010 08:44 AM

I havent filed yet but hopefully it'll get me back on 2 wheels. Driving around in a Porsche convertible is fun especially since I dont have to wear a helmet... but Sometimes I wanna lean ;P

ko67 02-19-2010 10:01 AM

I picked up some a*s gp plus gloves. I may pick up an new lid.



Most of it is going into my new bike fund.

Fearless4x4 02-19-2010 10:15 AM

Also got like ten new sponsorship patches to get put on my leather repsol jacket.

JustinNck1 02-20-2010 08:59 AM

I got myself a new FMF slipon and new bar ends for my F4i. Not bad for a kid who worked for minimum wage and got laid off in August. lol

Amen to that. It's supposed to be in the 40s here, too, so I think I'm gonna get to ride. I can still see my breath, but that's ok... I just don't like the sub-zero snow and ice crap. :)
I'll at least get the KLR out today and tomorrow, and make up some excuse to go somewhere... :D
Good luck on the work.

speeddemonx60 02-20-2010 02:43 PM

Hangfire 02-20-2010 09:08 PM

Sorry to hear you're getting screwed, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one getting screwed. It's just that things are wearing out on the ol F3 faster than I can come up with the money to replace the parts. Maybe my problem is new parts break old parts? If I WAS getting a nice return, I would use it to get one of these.

Hoosier1104 02-23-2010 11:29 AM

I am getting a Glock 19 for personal protection. Gitty gitty alright.

coldfire 02-23-2010 12:28 PM

You guys and your tax returns. I guess I jumped up a bracket this year cause I definately owe to the fed. Probably owe state too but I haven't done those forms yet. Need to stop by the post office and get the entire packet. Hell, I'll be lucky if I even have the bike running for this summer. Things are so tight right now. My present this year will be oil, a filter, and a stator cover gasket. I think that is all I really need to get the bike running.
