Known results for strictly stable motions as finiteness of moments and local boundednessof sample-path variation are generalized to self-affine processes, i.e., self-similar processes with stationary increments. The proofs are new, even for stable motions, and are obtained by applying the ergodic theorem to powers of the (one-sided) increments.
