Because you might wreck it. I should have taken some pictures but the 250 decided to pitch me last night. I don't know if it was the 10 year old tires, something on the road, or if gremlins got me but the front end just completely lost traction around the 71->270 ramp. It went from an epic high side attempt, recovered, and then I was already too close to the curb and all the junk that accumulates over there slid the bike out and threw me towards the median. So the damage: 250 needs a mirror, signal, upper fairing, and peg. I scuffed my helmet pretty bad, put a little rip on the textile part of my jacket, and there is a tiny hole on the tip of my glove's middle finger. Pissed, confused, but mostly shaken. I hate going down.
