1. Ken Hill Coaching Day
2. K-Tech Fork Carts
3. MotoAmerica Entry

 

42 ft toy hauler (home away from home w/great bed)
Milwaukee battery impact wrench to change the lug nuts on the shitty TH tires.
Diesel dually F350 tricked out...always went cheap before, never again

 

Ready Ramp
Pitbull stands
Canyon Dancer

Those things paid for themselves first time I used them and every time since. None of them have needed replacing in over a decade.

 

All the little plastic, expensive, trophies and plates!

 

1. 2004 SV650
2. Penske triple clicker/Race Tech emulators/springs
3. Penguin racing schools
And a very close third is race entrants.

 

1) the alteration of my suit. Best money I ever spent.
2) the hybrid pitbull front triple tree stand
3) the powder coating and paint/vinyl on my r6

 

Race entries.

 

my second EX250. So I could give the kid my first one, then race with him.

Garage rentals at every track

 

Uh Oh,you listed a bike. Mr.Hoi Polloi columbia grad is gonna kick your tail

 

he's welcome to grid up in FSS and join the crowd....they all kick my tail

 

Actually I still wear it to ride go karts, so it does get some use.

 

1) Loaning my 929 to one of my best friends so he could be on the track with me at the same time. The picture of us both going through T9 at Portland is priceless.

2) The people I have met and good friends I have made along the way. A core group of good guys here in Portland. Meeting Mongo in Michigan at the same time I met Brandon, which resulted in a trip to the IOM to stay with and watch Brandon race it.

3) Building my own Aprilia from nothing but a spare motor and wiring harness. Taught me a lot about myself and improved self confidence a ton.

All three are priceless, even though they come at the expense of riding and racing.

 

While I knew this was coming, it appears you missed post 4 (sorry George!).

And still more rolling in

OT:
1. Daytona Security boots
2. Custom Zooni suit
3. Honda Generator

 

This is my favorite answer so far.

 

1.) Bridgestone slicks.Very consistent tires.1st year I was on Michelins,those guys were DICKS

2.) Pitbull stands.No explanation necessary.

3.) Dainese M1 leathers that were sold to me by Schwantz for $150. These new were over $2000.

 

AK20 GAS - gas forks are the truth.
Castrol SRF
Enclosed trailer

 

1) A set of keihin fcr flatslides for my fzr400 back in the day. Da Bomb.

2) a set of Cosworth 1mm o/s pistons in 13-1 comp. the the fzr400.

3) an EZ up canopy.

This is back in 94/95. I had no money, worked at a bike shop, and my whole life was centered around racing. I sacrificed so much to do soooo much.

That list in noway represents the totality of my investments or priorities to get on track, but those were the top 3 self gratifying investments.
