    Smart Man>>>>>>>>

    Rule 1: Make a Budget
    Rule 2: Stick to the budget
    Rule 3: Refer to rule 1 and 2 over and over

    Most of us>>>>>>>>

    Rule 1: Spend all your savings on a bike
    Rule 2: Use all your credit cards for prepping bike
    Rule 3: Get loans for Trailers, tools, and such
    Rule 4: Get more credit cards for Gear and such
    Rule 5: Enter racing with all the greatest goodies
    Rule 6: Wreck and realize you have no more money to fix the bike
    Rule 7: Sell all your stuff really cheap to try and make a dent in
    your new found debt......


    Live Happily ever after

    I started a smart man and made some common man errors.
    But the main reason im selling all my stuff is lack of work and other financial problems. at least i still have my cheap and economical RS 125......

    Of course, the solution to not spending $20k your first year could always be to night race a 600 :rolleyes: My starting costs after playing with a 600:

    Very Competitive 125: $5250 (take off a couple thousand for a good starter 125)
    5x8 open flatbed trailer: $500 + $100 to "customize" it into a nice race trailer
    Tools: $700 for most everything
    Riding Gear: $1200
    First set of spares, fluids, parts, etc: $500
    Fancy stuff for pits (tables, chairs, awning): $300
    Tow vehicle: I already had one, and you can attach a tow hitch to pretty much any CAR to tow an open trailer which weighs that little

    Total: around $8500 for a very competitive lightweight bike (and think of all the money you save in tires!)
