tax returns...

#1 Unread post by wrecks »

Some of us here in the states are getting our tax returns back. I was just wondering if anybody is going to spend their returns on anything motorcycle related?

the way California is giving back tax refunds you can probably get a can of soda or an I.O.U. :lol:

If I spend it on something motorcycle related it will probably be a replacement rear shock and/or a Morgan Carbtune.

Or a lot of cheap beer. :righton:

Maybe a video camera to strap on the bike so I can see how bad I am.

The one bad part about being a Rider Coach is that they typically pay you with a 1099. However, after some fancy deductions that my accountant thought up, I only owe $900, but I put aside $3k for taxes. Does that coutn as a return? :laughing:

Why yes, I think it should!

If we get $$ back, it'll go toward the Versys we just bought. Despite the credit crunch, Kawi gave us 6 months interest-free to pay it off.

I paid (between both state and federal) $4500 in debt down saving me close to $400 extra per month. No beer was bought. Oh I take that back. I did spend $200 to get my truck fixed (needed new starter and cable terminals and I had to buy a small torch set to heat out one of the bolts).
