True on the cost. BUT Caterfields/Atoms etc are a PITA for anything other than dry and sunny trackdays within an hour of home. Which pretty much rules out Euro trips. Unless you wanted to trailer... in which case it's still a PITA.

If I wanted the flies in the teeth experience, then I'd stick to 2 wheels which gives even greater thrills than 4 wheels ever could. Caterfields give you less thrills than bikes, with all the downsides of cars (roadspace etc), and none of the upsides...
