I faced the same dilemma, but kept my sportbike. The bike experience so dwarfs my '01 S that the box is relegated to touring, and as such has probably never seen 5k. Ofcourse driving can be a thrill, but I do my own repairs and have really had my fill of engines, gearboxes, and etc. Bikes are cheap and can be viewed as expendables, much more readily than a pristine car, like my S is. Plus its nice getting 40+ mpg, riding in the carpool lane, and splitting lanes, which I hear is only legal in CA. As for the danger, I dunno,maybe I've been lucky. More than 150k miles on LA frwys and not a scratch. And believe you me, I'm not holding up traffic. Experience and common sense, hopefully.
