    NEVER DO THE MATH!

    I did the math ONCE on my CRF70... other than the money I spent doing the math was one of the dumber decisions I ever made.

    There's 2 thought trains going here - First: If you work hard and earn the money and have your bills and responsibilities taken care of on the home front - this is 'extra' money. You work for a reason. You can't take it with you... Second: You never see a motorcycle parked outside a therapists office...

    Never do the math - Motorcycles (raced or just ridden on the road), bicycles, flyrods (add up what a tackle box has in it - it's scary), ski's, etc. They're all money tossed in the air and walked away from. But - it's called a hobby and living.

    speeding tickets and jail time are cheaper even if you get caught on the street

    Since that year I've done some expensive maint on the 749r at Seacoast including belts, valves and a new clutch. I also ended up with new bodywork and a paint job.

    Not much else new besides gloves and boots so my coat per mile has to have come down dramatically.

    Btw cost per mile is cumulative so even if you bought the bike last year it is still a factor in the official calculation.

    Re: Cost Per lap...its ok to laugh...or cry

    i cant remember what i spent on gas, the tires on the track bike are take off so they were free, and i didnt spend any money on a hotel at all. so it seems this last season cost me oil and a filter...so what...$50? whats $50 divided by 500? $.10 per lap?
    next season will be oil, filter, counter shaft seal, chain and sprockets....so under $200

    1/2 my money I spent on Liquor and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    I quickly over a long life got on the far side of a 100K with regular bikesand stopped counting

    come off the main straight topped out in 6th, brake hard and load the front end, click down 3 gears, pop the clutch while feathering the rear brake to get a smooth controlled rear slide, and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!



    (he's not sliding in this pic though)

    used maybe 2-1/2 gallons of 2-stroke pre-mix today...ran 20 min sessions about 4-5 times before I got tired and went home...track day fee $30...tires will be good for the next year...so I'd say it's pretty cheap!

    Still. His 'membership' fee is 25% of mine. And I pay more than 7 times as much for a day. Oh, and he can ride any day of the week? Yeah, I'd 'downgrade' to a kart track for that.
