+1, Street riding is far more dangerous than track IMO. Too many distractions on public roads to take your attention away from learning the capabilities of your vehicle.
Once you know the capabilities of your vehicle, you are more likely to be able to get yourself out of trouble on public roads instead of slamming on the brakes when you spot trouble.
Sometimes, getting out of trouble means that you have to get off the pavement and ride it out on the grass/dirt.. that applies on the track and road.
