its not totally about the money, as much as frustration..
as well as there is more of the hobby to do on a bike to me.
you can travel, race at the track (drag or road course), bike nights, poker runs, etc etc..
yeah you can do it in a car, but its just not as fun.
especially in a car thats modified (traveling wise)
you can get on a bike and almost never have to worry about shit breaking.
plus its just a different experience
but like buck i like to mod my house now as well... and my garage.
