> I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this. I rode dirt my whole life. Many broken bones. I didn’t start on the street until maybe 5 years ago. I feel much safer on the street. On dirt/track, I’d do things I shouldn’t. I’d ride above my skill level. Because that’s how you get better. On the street, I’m overly cautious and defensive.

I would rather take my chances not hitting things that do not move instead of retards in cars moving around. I have been on street bikes when I was younger and never felt safe. :dunno:
