[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1255918, member: 29320"] You mention thinking you'd be more likely to get hurt doing a track day or having a track only bike. I find that statement a little misguided. Race tracks have trained staff and usually an ambulance or medical staff nearby during any event. You certainly don't have that on the street! They require tech inspections and do track maintanance on the track surfaces. Hell where I live you're lucky if they clean up an oil spill on a busy road! I doubt that I even ride at what I believe to be 50% of my ability on a public road. I've hit one deer already and just watched my wife wreck her bike 3 weeks ago when she came around a corner of a road we ride every day and she hit some spilled oil. I know she wasn't riding at even a small percentage of her capabilities. Accidents happen when you ride on public streets. Inattentive drivers, wildlife, debris in the road. The only thing we can do is where proper gear, pay attention, stay sober when riding, and be aware the road is not the track. [/QUOTE]
