OK on a serious note without a doubt experienced motorcycle riders are WAY better car drivers because of it... I've known that for years...

If you keep to the middle sure you can't go wrong, especially on a bike!!

I tend to be more observant because of being a biker.

Like most here, I believe I'm a better 4 wheel driver because of my time spent on 2 wheels. But Scott, I have to say there are people who just should not be on a motorcycle for one minute. They can get by in a car but those are the ones we have to watch for and avoid. My wife thought she might like to ride her own bike after our incident with a deer. So she could be in control. I'm relieved to say she tried and said {on her own} that it wasn't for her. Thank God !!!

Patricia Started 1 up in 2006. Especially considering the amount of miles she's logged, I think she does awesome. She says that she is much more aware since starting to ride. Even more so since getting hit by the lady cager in 2010.

Yup, I gotta agree, I'm sure motorcycles have made me a better driver! Def more aware!

Nothing better {providing you make it out of it OK} than an accident while on your ride to make you more aware. My a$$ puckers and I wake right up when I see deer signs now.

I had become complacent over the years and hanging it all out on two wheels jerked me back to reality.
