15,000 km service

Had the 15,000 km service done today. Looked at my records & realised it's over a year since the last service (10,000 km)-(small island = low mileage, even when the bike's used daily)

oil € 16.00
filter € 4.50
spark plug € 4.90
brake pads € 29.95
clean air filter
check valves
labour (1.8 hours at € 21.00/hr) €37.80
tax € 4.66

Total € 97.81 (around €150)

The point I'm really trying to make, is that the bike has seemed o.k., but......... When I rode it home - Oh boy, it was like riding a different bike. Smoother, more power. I'd grown so used to the day by day,slow, changes since the last service, that I'd not noticed them.

Made a mental note to try & remember what a freshly serviced bike feels like. :whistle:

BTW, the bill for this year's registration has just arrived in the mail - € 12.11 ($ 18.00 ?)
