Maintaining a bike can be expensive at times but they're less costly than many other hobbies. Scuba diving cost me far more than maintaining a bike.
Absolutely right. Just ask anybody who owns a small plane. Too bad this line of logic doesn't work with the other half.

Absolutely. Since I'm used to paying $30 apiece for spark plugs (two per cylinder) the price for CB11 plugs wasn't too shocking, just annoying.
Ferret's list of maintenance items (plugs, pads, filters and oil) would cost 2 -3 times as much for my plane. Non-consumable parts are totally crazy. Last year I paid $600 for what is essentially a $5 micro switch.

Non-comsumable. I don't want them if I can't comsume them anyway.
