Oh I believe it. It's not that I don't have self control, I'm just terrified of road conditions. I still remember like it was yesterday, hitting a patch of loose dirt/gravel that had fallen off the edge of the cliff and into the road, right in the middle of a turn. This was in a Miata though, and all that happened was I slid a couple feet out of my intended line through the corner. Had I been a bike?

I shudder to think. I'd love one as a track toy, but I can't bring myself to buy something I wouldn't use on the street given that the nearest track is some 200+ miles from me. :nono:
