Our financial advisor asked me to track all our expenses. I added a separate section for the motorcycle just for my own interest. I treat it like any other hobby. I am sure I have spent as much on my battery powered, radio controlled large scale trains over the last 26 years as I have on my motorcycle.
I remember all my bike costs worked out to 48 cents per happy kilometer over the last 3 summers. Pretty cheap entertainment.
Now that I have returned to motorcycling after a 25 year hiatus, I won't give it up as long as I am able to ride. I played beer league hockey until I was 48 and baseball until I was 56. During our 6 month long winters, I walk the local nature trail for an hour. So fortunately I have maintained my good health.
Every month for the last couple of years I saved $200 in my Tax Free Savings Account in case I find that elusive 2014 Deluxe or 2017 EX model at a reasonable price. Until then I will enjoy what I have.
