Huh?  Is that like saying "That's why they have horse races?"

Ummm...  That would be me!  The Z3 handles quite well, thanks.

But, who buys convertibles to be safe?  ;-)

Even more of a reason to get a 2-seater!

Actually, my kids all love the Z3.  They drive it every chance they 
get (and when I let them).

Oh man, I'm right with you there.  I sold my last street bike (BMW 
K100RT) several years ago.  That was a question of risk reward 
regarding safety.  Even though I never rode it much in traffic, I 
always feared being slammed by some brain-dead driver.  The 2-seat 
roadster allows a reasonable (IMO) compromise between open-air 
motoring and safety.
