Welcome to a whole different community. One thing you will notice is that riders and drivers are two different creatures. You pull over in your car and half the world will pass you by. Pull over on a bike and I can just about guarantee the next rider you see is going to stop and make sure your alright.
There is nothing on earth quite like riding a motorcycle, short of hang gliding, it's about as close as we humans can get to flying. Has someone given you a gremlin bell yet?
