Body Parts Poll

With the recent Bayliss crash, and the loss of the tip of his little finger, SuperbikePlanet is running a poll.
So here's the same poll for the EXUPBrotherhood member to take. We can then compare the EXUPBrotherhood poll results with the SuperbikePlanet results.

By comparison to that of Joe Lunchbox, the life of a world championship factory rider is pure cake. They make roughly $65k a month, live in an atmosphere of near complete adulation, travel the globe while riding the best bikes on dreamy tracks, and are surrounded by a near endless supply of half naked women who are only too happy to stop the harsh rays of the sun reaching their leather clad bodies.
One of the downsides, though, is that sometimes they lose pieces of their body. Which body part would you give up to be a factory rider?

Toes are needed for balance, right pointer for brakes, and chicks will steer clear and think something very bad happened with no left ring finger. Gotta go with the pinky.

left little toe can say goodbye. the big toe is more important for balance, and hands missing fingers look very strange.
besides, you can hide your feet in shoes.

As small as the little toe is, Pacer is correct. The little toe is only to aid in balance.

It was Bayliss who lost part of a finger not corsa

Darn, you're right. I'm always getting those guys mixed up. Why are there so many Troy's anyway?

I'll add a "write in" choice:
My left nut : I'm right handed, have one to spare and I'm not using either one anyway.

And now look at what YZF_Rider wrote.

Good idea. If I had thought of it when I posted the poll I would have included a 'write in' choice, along with "No thanks, I'm not giving up any body parts. I like being a Joe Lunchbox"

The loss of 5 toes didn't slow Daryl Bettie down,
and the loss of part or whole right little finger is almost a right of passage for any self respecting world champion.
I don't know if i would give up a body part to be a factory rider, as i would probly end up riding for Ilmor,
But i would part with some $$$$ to take, say, Troy Carsers bike for a lap or two of Philip Island
