Well yeah, I was exaggerating a bit, and yes, it was a given he's going down. I'll defer to those that have actually raced their bikes, I just ride on the street !

My point is that what is pretty inconsequential to a car driver can be catastrophic (telephone pole) to a motorcycle. Not the same as your rain example, which should still have reasonably safe runoff...

The main issue I see is ground clearance, if there's more than 5-6" of snow you're going to start plowing with the front spoiler. Not to mention the damage an icy chunk or ridge could do !

Eh, I actually like having 4 seasons, to quote Eddie Murphy: " If every day is a sunny day, what's a sunny day ? ". Any body know which movie ?

Each to their own, but you're missing out by passing up the Boxster. Because of IMS fears I bought a 987 ( I don't track the car ) , it's been probably the best purchase of my life. Other than...

Not quite right, IMO the lower the polar moment the better, not only will it change directions more quickly, but it will also recover more quickly. A car with a high PMoI may "stay in control"...

As mentioned, Always have a safety backup, whether it's a jack, or the tires shoved under the car. Any single device can fail, even a jack stand, though rare. Do you want to be under the car when you...

I don't remember off the top of my head, I'd have to play around with some Google search terms.

The only other problem with liftbars is I'd have to buy a jack that is low enough to fit under them, pushing the total price higher. So for now, I'll do it the hard way !

BTW, there are similar...

I haven't found any on my '06 either. I just close it in the lower front corner of the door and it's never been a problem. I don't let the car sit for more than a few weeks though.

No, lead acid batteries lose capacity every time they are fully discharged. IIRC it's the NiCd and NiMH batteries that had a "memory".

Yup, my guess is you're exhaust is now sounding how it's supposed to when all sealed up. The "getting louder or quieter" was a leak or crack that finally blew out on you.

I wouldn't worry about the ridge on the rotor, my car has the same thing with EBC red pads and no squeal. I didn't even replace the OEM anti-squeal pad.
