I have good gear, and I know how to ride against the mass flood of idiotic soccer moms in SUV's and minivans almost always on cellphones.

I still don't trust them, especially when my bike is parked. I've seen three different idiots start to pull into what they thought was an empty parking spot only to come to a screeching halt just inches from my bike. Two of the morons actually laid on their horns in a lame effort to get me out of the restaurant to force me to move my bike just for them. That's why I park sideways at the front of all parking spaces now so they actually see the bike. I will never park tail in, nose out, at the back of a parking spot ever again.

As much as I want the Ducati bodykit for my bike, I'd like to keep the stock panels intact as long as possible which is why I asked about frame sliders.
