What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Unless you have a dedicated track bike with an ECU map and engine modifications that requires race fuel, you don't need it. 93 octane ethanol-free is just fine. It's all about what the compression is in your engine; higher compression means that you need higher octane fuel, and higher octane fuel in a lower compression engine isn't helping at all. (Most modern bikes also have anti-knock sensors that will retard the timing if your fuel is too poor for the engine.)
