1.3 How Much Money Am I Going to Spend?

You can do the first year for less than $6000, including buying a used
bike and protective gear, spares, and a trailer set-up. After that, it
should be cheaper, until you need a new bike, or start messing with
your engine. If you buy a bike in need of a lot of repair, you may
wind up spending more than that.

I've found a weekend at the races typically runs less than $300,
including gas, oil, entrance fees, food, etc. You can do it cheaper,
you can do it more expensive. If you have a big bike, you'll need to
replace tires a lot (maybe every weekend), but on little ones, you can
get a number weekends out of them.
