I learned that when my wife's financial advisor had me make a spreadsheet of our income and expenses. I began tracking what my CB500XA cost me including accessories, gear, maintenance, gas, insurance, etc. That destroyed the argument that motorcycles are a cheap form of transportation. But I rationalized it by divided the cost by the number of kilometers I rode.
Then I realized how silly I was being. I worked for decades so that I could comfortably enjoy my retirement and buy the things I wanted. That spread sheet was deleted and the receipts shredded.
As a former motorcycle buddy use to say, "Enjoy life! Life is short and we only come this way once."
