Caught some good advice offline. We went over the footage a few times. She went into my lane when we were both braking. I Swerved. Contact was incidental. Made more of it than necessary for this debate, I think. Edit - video and a second & third pair of eyes have better objectivity than my...

Probably good advice, done.

Crap.

Lightly-used Bell Star MIPS, bought in 2018 as a second helmet. Selling because I wanted a helmet colour to match my bike (vain, I know). Size Medium, fits true to size if you are coming from Arai or Shoei Medium. Excellent condition, never dropped, not a scratch on the helmet or visor. Pads...

600-675 SS = 120-130hp

Sounds like you want to buy used, which is probably a good idea. The new Ninja 400 has been out for a year(ish) and would be a much better choice if you can afford it, over the Ninja 300. From what I read, the 400 has so much more torque, and higher peak HP, while being lighter. The CBR650F is...

You have the original A/S3, not the latest "Plus" version. While the tread pattern is virtually unchanged, they updated the compound and it made a huge difference according to the consumer reviews and Tire Rack tests. The snow traction went from middling, to near the top of the category.

Absolutely, the A/S3+ is now ranked at the top on Tire Rack, both in their latest test and with consumers.

Yes but BMW classifies it as: "LSD: Electronic" It's crap.

I have an eight year old BMW 3-series RWD. I used to have dedicated winter tires for it, but when it came to replace the summer tires I went with UHP All-Seasons and ditched the snows. Why? - I work from home so I no longer need to drive absolutely every day. I can afford to wait until the...

Hmmm, check my post directly above yours... And my first post: 1) Sell 2) Rent 3) Borrow I know the chances are slim for #3. I said "Borrow" in the subject line because... I dunno!

Nah, I'm not that kind of guy... :^) Ideally I'd like to buy a used one if somebody has one that they're not using.
