Although i would say that coming off the bike on the road, track or anywhere for that matter, is allways rider error.........

I firmly believe and understand there are a lot more factors in the equation riding on the road. It is much harder to ride on the road correctly and therefor more dangerous. The main difficulty is the decision making, junctions, overtakes, vehicles coming the other way etc etc

So as a lot of these dont exist on a track on a track is safer............and less chance of damaging your bike.

It's funny reading this thread all this bling etc which is way OTT for the road, to be fair my R is pretty much a track bike now as it's just too much for the road, if I throw it down the track then so be it, my error it's only a bike and I'd hope I've taken enough precautions to make sure it doesn't cost too much to sort.

I can name a few peeps with various Italian exotica who've come off on the road and even at low speeds their bikes have ended up in the scrap pile due to hitting kerbs, lamp posts, street signs, street lights, stationary vehicles etc, from that basis you're far better off on the track and then you can get to test some of this bling to what it was intended for....

[bike mad]

thays not the point, it's you have the bike insurance for the road so even if the worst happens you get your money back,
on the track you lose the lot,

[JPM]

Not nessarily you can get track insurance.... and in most cases your excess would be more than an off at a trackday
