I feel distracted when I drive. It's too relaxed and comfortable. I'm always compretely focused when I ride because of everyone around me and a slight error can down me. I don't like driving a cage anymore.
Typing with an asian accent today?

I think I wirr start doing this...in an attempt at becoming more japanese (in case riding a honda doesn't do enough).

I had to rock 4 wheels today (my turn to drive to lunch...and we didn't even go. wtf)...and the whole time i was sitting in traffic, I just wanted to make MY BMW fit between lanes like that other BMW I saw(only difference was, his was a bike...mine..not a bike).

It happens to me. 3 or 4 days on the bike and then I want to wear my helmet when driving my S2000.

I get that "feeling" all of the time. The braking, power...everything is different. I've even leaned into turns while I was in my car, lol. If they made snow tires, etc., for streetbikes, I'd ride my bike all year long.

I have that feeling today.It was the first time i drove a car in over a month..

The only thing that bothers me about driving my car is i cant use the HOV lane which adds roughly 30mins to my commute...Power ,brakes,etc are close enough to my bikes ,i dont miss those things from one to the other..LOL..

The only thing that bothers me when I get back in my car is the lack of damn power.
Haha, tell me about it. My daily always felt superquick with more boost (passat 1.8T), until I started riding. Now it is slower than molasses in January and I find myself revving the shyte out of it unintentionally and not downshifiting enough. The last week was bad enough, perfect riding weather, but I had to drive the cage because of this whileI had to wait for my new tire to come in.
