I'm usualy the passenger so I notice a lot more than Erik. When we went to NC in November he said he was enjoying being a passenger because he could look at all the stuff he had missed on previous trips.

Don't get me wrong, we don't speed all the time or that much. I don't like looking around very much when I'm on the bike. I feel like I have to be more attentive because everyone else is not. Even in the car I'm more attentive than probably most.

That's a learned skill that I am trying to drill into my GF who is a chronic non-attention payer when she drives. Now when we are in the car, I randomly ask her what color the cars are in random directions. It still blows her mind that when she tries that on me, I know 8/10 times. It my honest opinion that for the most part, motorcyclists are better drivers than average.

My first thought too.

My wife gets car sick on mountain roads. Last time we were out west, it was all she could do to keep from hurling every time we were in the car.

Put her on the back of a Street Glide and she gets to experience all the beautiful surroundings with no issues at all.

This is part of the reason I own the BMW as well....I ride the same roads that I do on a superbike/motard, but on the BMW its like another world entirely.
