ABS Survey

ABS for Australian Bureau of Statistics, I got a survey to fill in from them yesterday, specifically aimed at me and my bike, with another coming in 3 months time. They are collecting data on vehicle usage etc so this one asked for details of the bike, the next one will be asking about kilometers, where I did them, fuel economy etc.
Of course the 3 months will include my trip to PI for the MotoGP

so they'll get some interesting stats....but I've got to start keeping a log book now

Anyone else got one of these yet?

The census is a snapshot of a particular day, whereas this survey seems to be trying to get information over a 3 month period.

....and considering I do on average 12-15,000km per year, I figure I'll do my bit to make them aware of how much bikes are on the road.
