Yes, I spent more money on bikes today. In this case a WOF and (cringe) registration for the Connie. 540 odd dollars later I had two small pieces of paper that will last 12 months before needing to be replaced again...
Then it was off to a service station for $36 worth of gas which never seems to go as far as you'd like - although it is a lot of fun burning it...
But, I didn't stop there! In response to a warning on the dash I replaced the battery in the fob about $5. At least this should last about 3 years or 55,000km...
Next up will be the TPS sensors/transmitters in the wheels (one has a failed battery, so the other can't be far off too) but this will have to wait until the Pirellis are toast. I also need to do a bit more investigation on the Concours website as Kawasaki say the sensors have to be replaced ($$) whereas I believe some owners have experimented with dissecting them and replacing the $5 battery.
Perhaps I need a cheaper hobby, say, flying helicopters...
Buy a Yamaha FJR. No key fobs or weird sensors! Can't help your other expenses. Then again, you have jumping marsupials. We only have pet store Gerbils!

Is your bike a GTR1400? Never heard of a Concourse over here.
