Why does anyone except Frankie Chili James Toesland etc need "quick" release fasteners?

Surely secure fasteners for you and I are better???

No they look crap and its load easier when you do some work on your bike to take the pannels off. No chance of slipping with a screwdriver and scratching the paint too

Frankie and JimmyT dont need quick release fasteners, their mechanics do.

It is easier to access for work on the engine etc, but I have heard of people getting their panels pinched because they are easy to get off.

Some of our customers run Zeus fasteners but have one of the fixings replaced with the screw system that the E models use, just to make it less easy easy to rob the bodywork, although I havnt heard of this as a common problem.
