DITTO! Every racer I know takes almost as good care of their race bike as they do their kids! And they use the bike lik it was built to be ridden, unlike stunt bikes.

Often a bike will be totaled for something trivial that really doesnt affect its performance. You can pick up a brand new bike with little miles on it from a salvage yard that specializes in bikes for a fraction of the original price. If there is some slight frame damage cuz it fell off a trailer or something, just buy a spare frame and swap. And thats how many end up with no title. Depending on the state, you sometimes cannot register a "salvaged" bike even if its in perfect ridable condition. And its usually easier if thats its sole purpose to leave it untitled and track it out.
