Used to spend ~$10k per year for moto racing before this. Not even on upgrades. Just getting there, paying track/race fees for practice sessions, races, buying tires.
And that's on years that I haven't crashed and had to replace moto parts.
So yeah I'll take this
Having said that, not all upgrades have to have actual functional purpose. I'd argue that IF getting that gear you want for whatever stupid reason makes you ride it more, it was worth it. I'm also type of guy who laser focuses on one hobby. I'm sure others are similar. Bike gear killed my desire for all other gear or "things" I don't want a better car. I don't want better phone. I don't want better cameras... All that stuff..
