    Dirt and track mostly for me, but my trackbike is registered so I can go for a cruise. I ride less and less on the street though...

    I think if I lived in your area I would Have a streetbike Just because You have Good roads.

    I would have to ride 1/2 Hour to get to Decent roads (motomarket Circuit) But even there they have wanted signs of me and Pittenger on the Telephone poles.

    My motard is plated, but it has yet to see the street. And my "streetbike" is a dirtbike.

    Re: No Street Bike

    Have 2 registered street bikes, but have put limited mileage since June. I just don't find it fun anymore (or comfortable on the liter) with all the hazards on the street.

    I haven't missed the street... dirt, however is missed on the regular. I'm toying with the idea of re-converting the KTM back to dirty duty.

    No streetbike for me. I don't even have my MC license, as soon as I started track riding, the street seemed too dangerous for me.

    Re: No Street Bike

    ya same here, only dirt now. I miss my Kawi but I really was over riding it on the street in general with so many D-bags on the streets. If I lived in western mass/away from Boston area it would have more appeal to me.

    Re: No Street Bike

    Seem to be less and less miles on the street bike for me. Seem to prefer riding the motard on the dirt roads/trails. Will be picking up a dirt bike soon to...

    Re: No Street Bike

    I did 12,000 street miles last season, and 1 track day. This season I have done only about 4,000 street miles and 7 track days....

    I do miss the street rides but always seem to be packing and gettig ready for a track day, or unpacking from one

    Although, after my mishap at Penguin the street/track bike is more track only right now..

    Re: No Street Bike

    you pansies. if you want something safe, take up knitting. motorcycles are dangerous on the street, on the track, in the dirt, in the woods...shit, just standing near one is risky if you're DDK (just once around the block...right?).

    sorry, just tired of everyone whining about how the street is too dangerous as if the track was some giant inflatable bouncy castle filled with down pillows, bubbles and clouds.

    Dude fwiw, I have done dangerous shit my whole life. It is worth it to me to break bones from a racing incident doing something I love, which I have done many times. Getting creamed by a moron in a car on the other hand is something I don't ever want to spend time recovering from.

    I ride dirt and street once in a while. Hoping a smaller streetbike will solve a few of my problems.

    But how the flying fuck did I get dragged into this?

    As for the OP... no street bike for me now. That'll change again, multiple times, I'm sure.
