Nothing epic, but good (for my ego) to see.

I think the thing with bikers having to be better than people in cars comes mainly from how the different vehicles are used. When I'm on my bike I'm out there riding for the fun of it. My Rover is essentially just used as a utility vehicle. I (usually) don't go out and drive it for the sake of driving it. I feel more connected to the road and closer to everything while on the bike. When I'm in a car I get the sense that I'm just in a car.what is it about bikers that always makes them feel as though they HAVE to be better then people driving cars? Is it just that insecure people ride motorcycles more often?, i doubt that personally.
Please get back with me on that.
Another way of asking: I personally have have found that all the cars i have enjoyed most of all weren't nessasarily the fastest cars by any means, so why is it that bikers always have to be the fastest or loudest, or having "the most fun." I have never seen such insecurities displayed through overinflated egos as i have with motorcycle riders. If bikes are soo great then really, why do you all have to go on and on and on and on about how much better then cars they are?
I'm so over this bike vs car bullshit - it proves nothing at all. They're totally different vehicles for christ's sake.
So is a Veyron and a Cessna, or a Scarab and a Benz GL, or a 612 and a train...
Those comparisons are done for pure entertainment value. The bike vs car thing gets taken far too seriously by people - that's why I'm over it.
What are you talking about? Noone claims bikes are "better" than cars; they're two completely different worlds.
I've never met an 'insecure' rider. I won't dispute the ego critique, but the car vs. bike competitiveness is an endless debate, this is just another volley in the battle for performance supremacy. Even Top Gear has played host to it. Both four and two wheels have pro's and con's.
Its not like bikers 'hate' cars; usually those on two wheels have just as much admiration for a nice car as they do for a bike.
well you sound like a very reasonable guy, i just happen to come across bike message boards and sometimes people go on and on about how people who drive cars for fun have peas for brains and should be shot. I suppose those are the people i'm targeting with my rant.
Kajun-thats a good description as any i've read, and i do love seeing bikers as i usually get the sense there on the road to enjoy themselves (even if there riding a slow as balls harley, which at least looks and sounds cool.) I really do love the spirit of freedom some bikers try to bring to the road, but then i always get the sense that theres a other half that just has issues with penis size and needs something that they can claim i faster then a Enzo so that they don't get all suicidal.
