Re: [ST] Biased Survey
My experience after 25 years of riding -
>Which is safer?
>
>1) Riding on the street (includes hwy)
Crashed 5 times [learning (2), locked rear brake (1), ice (2 in one
day)] no injuries.

>2) Riding on a race track (i.e. track day)
In 3 track days, never went down.

In two seasons of racing, went down once on a warm up lap for
practice when I got hit by another rider. Only bruises.
For the safest riding, I would have to go with number 2. No oncoming
traffic, excellent surface conditions, fewer distractions, and an
ambulance parked nearby.
