    Actually, he's faster than me, but I'll choose to keep them in this order!

    I ride my Bike on road and track, after all track is the only place you can really ride your sports bike to its full potential :D Although I would put crash bungs, engine case protection and a cheap track fairing on it just in case ;)

    All there bar the cheap track fairing - might invest in that later this year.

    I think I'd want the protection even if I was only on the street!

    Cant remember who i had the conversation with but we come to the conclusion that crash bungs (fairing protectors) have the tendency to flip the bike if they hit the curb or dig into any soft ground.

    Yeah, I've heard that. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.

    Saved my vfr800 a few years ago though when I dropped it - twice!

    Dropped it.

    Was living temporarily in a place in Brighton with a car park round the back.

    They wouldn't give me a fob, but I had a code to open the pedestrian door which was on a heavy hinge. Was there Monday to Friday so it was worth having it secure, but managed to slip doing the exit manoeuvre on two occasions. To be fair there was snow on the ground for one of them!
