the view of the world from a motorcycle is quite different than from inside a car. it’s wonderful. there are no distractions; no radio, nothing to reach for in the passenger seat, nothing rattling around in the back…. attention is focused externally; the cars around you, the road condition, the view, avoiding bugs….

in a car you are isolated and protected. on a bike you feel the air are not totally protected from the heat or the cold even when you are wearing excellent gear. a brisk ride in the morning wakes up your senses, makes you alert.
