Do you grease your chain?

Just wondering what you guys do, i dont ever grease my chain, havent on any of the last 10 bikes i've owned, I just clean it with kerosene and wipe it off...

never had any problems, sold one of the R1's to a friend, and we finally replaced the stock chain at 25,000 miles

i just dont see how lube helps much other than maybe preventing rust,

I do mean only with 0-ring chains though, i would definately lube chains that were not 0-ring

how bout you?
