While I am not a hater as everyone needs a place to start, I might ride on the street twice a year. I find it too dangerous and a very unpredictable enviroment. If I lived somewhere where I could feel like I dont have to watch over my shoulder I probably would.
Cops are always gunning for you, cars are trying to kill you and a nine inch curb makes things break when your bike slides into it. Not to mention the ammbulance is 20 min away.
The track is a "controlled" enviroment. You dont have to be competitive to enjoy it. It is a real learning curve every time you get there, no matter what skill level your at.
I have not "ridden" on the street for at least 6 years not counting my one or two guest appearances a year.
