The thing I hold most sacred that is 'on' my bike is me! The rest is just plastic and metal which can be replaced.

The most important thing on my bike would be me! but if i had to save one thing on my RD 350 it would be the paint work, it's just so me. I have to say it, this bike has already been written off and resurected so

it won't happen again.
If it was my FZ 600, the only thing worth saving is the Micron system. It's a great reliable bike don't get me wrong but theres no sentimental attachment.

Plastics are a defo. You can pick up the rest pretty cheap.
Although I hope I never have to test this theory out.
after me it would have to be paint, mine was done by dp so i'd never hear the end of it if i scratched it.

me bike i'd be really pi55ed off if it got damaged as for myself dunno really not too bothered, mind ya wot's left will be damaged by me missus if i did have a spill
Engine casings for me, and ignition cover especialy, if that goes then there is a good chance of the crank being bent and then the engine is shagged, to old to be a viable repair.
I am more aware of this since my engine bars were trashed earlier this year (not by me i hasten to add,).
But having said all this, after witnesing a couple of offs i am constantly reminded of my mortality.... still ride like a loon some times though.... !

I tend to love my bikes while i have them and fret over every bit! Its all just 'stuff' though and can be fixed/replaced with usually no more than aggrovation and expense. For me I have to g along with others and say that i worry about myself more than anything else. In particular i ride without my false leg a lot of the time and worry about smashing my stump into the road - thats gonna smart in the morning son! Dont believe my avatar - the jeans wearing was purely for the photo!
