Yet another example of why I'll only purchase Attack track 'glass.

Just like everything else in life, you get what you pay for. The cheap stuff usually is FUBAR after a wreck or it takes more effort than it's worth to fix them.

Paying more doesn't always give you better quality, many times it just makes you easy pickings for overpriced products. Take for example japanese vs italian motorcycles. Lower purchase and maintenance costs with higher reliability and performance dollar for dollar vs pretty bike....

Then you got things that are just straight rip offs all because of brand name. This is really noticeable in the clothing/gear world.

You have to be a smart shopper about what you buy to get best performance for lowest cost.

I was riding my Hyper S last Saturday and being pretty tame. I dropped it to 1st, dumped the clutch, and let the rear end go crazy while slowing for the red light. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a white fender come up beside me. Turn to see who my company is, and it's a NV state trooper! He politely says "You don't want a ticket on a Saturday do you?" I replied, "I don't want a ticket on ANY day!" The light turns green and we both go, eventually going our separate ways. At the next red light I though about the encounter and realized he was staring at the bike the entire time he was talking to me and most of the time we were riding!

nice, sounds like he was a rider or at least a fan.
