Riding helps me to be physically fit, which is important, since I'm self-insured. I'm a lot more easygoing when I ride regularly (less apt to get into spats with speeder )
Besides, I have half aspirations of one day getting into racing, but I'll never know if I'm good enough if I don't push myself.

Racing with hairy legs is guaranteed to earn you the coveted "Fred" status meaning they will make your life hell - even crash you out if necessary.
Seriously, racing bikes is dangerous. Looking back I can't believe I survived those years racing and not having health care - if what you mean by "self-insured" = "out of own pocket".
Be careful and stay to front - that's where the winner invariably is (duh) and where the crashes occur least.
