I just don't want to add more weight to my S10. I don't want to hassle with skid plates or crash bars. I also change bikes so often that my previous history of farklization seems to be a waste...by the time I get all the accessories sorted, I am ready for something new...Yes, I ride dirt but don't get too extreme, although I often seem to end up finding more "challenge" than I bargained for.
So tell me your experiences, such as; "I dropped my bike and it was still fine without protection" OR "If I didn't have the protection, I'd have been stuck in the woods" OR "I had protection and still f'ed up my bike" OR ??? "(your anser here)".
I don't really care about scratches, dings or even broken plastic as long as it can still get up and go. I know ever incident is unique but who else is in the naked bike frame of mind or am I alone in this line of thought?
