So now you're going to be "track only" because you think that you'll be "safer" there... Maybe, but if you keep riding at the limit, you'll end up crashing, and we'll be seeing a thread about you giving up riding all together soon.

True... trade offs. We participate in a dangerous sport. Sure you will be getting away from the soccer moms, cell phone weilding teens, pot holes, gravel, and tickets. But the threshhold is so much higher at the track. The margin for error is smaller. The crashes faster... and more often. You may only crash once in ten years or more on the street, but you know you will crash at the track. Atleast there are no curbs to hit if you go down at the track.
