View From A Bike

On a motorcycle the world looks different. You're engaged in a more direct way. Things look, smell, and sound different. More vivid. Your senses are heightened, they have to be. You recognize beauty you may not have noticed, danger too.

“In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.” -Robert Pirig
