Looks like the old smashed up (and previously expensively painted) bodywork will become the track livery. If it had been, this mess wouldn't have costed me a dime.

Very true, although I coulda done without it, all the same. I have crashed on the street a couple of times at inconsequential speeds. This was fast enough that I raised a nice roostertail of dust and crap skidding across the infield grass. My chin bar caught enough dirt to fill my helmet up pretty good.

But...that's why we wear this stuff.

Do you track ride, sir?
That attitude will get you and someone else hurt and fast.

The track is a safe-er environment, but by no means is it as safe as sitting in your grandma's living room. The track is a place for deliberate and measured riding. It rewards good technique with low lap times and punishes foolery with scorn, mock and ridicule.
