To be fair though Lincoln, people like you and I are in the minority and don't spend the kind of money that most people do on their equipment or program... ops:
True, true...

Just saying it is possible to be a frugal racer, get a ton of seat time and have every bit as much fun (if not more) than the guy that throws cubic dollars at it.
I guess it comes down to what you want to get out of it. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be "The Great White Hope" of motorcycle racing. I do it cause I love it...

Keeping my budget in check is about being able to afford to do it long term.
At this price, I will still be racing when I have to grid the SV against Hoverbikes with warp drives!
