Find a less expensive hobby. Better yet, buy that kid of yours a
riding mower and let her earn some of the bucks she'll need to get
through college. I'm pretty sure motorbike racing is not a recognized
collegiate sport with the accompanying athletic scholarships. Hell,
man, tuition, room and board at UConn is at least $20,000 a year for
an in-state student by now. That's $80,000-$100,000 for a degree from
a good state university. She's not going to get that sort of money
rising around on a motorbike.

"rising around", eh?
