I have a Honda CBRxx1100. I ride to work nearly every day.

I think riding a bike has made me a better driver. On the bike I damn well know that if I get hit - or even have a close call - I'm going down, and I'm going to get hurt. Factor in that people don't see bikes as well as cars and it's very dangerous indeed.

This might sound gay, but every time I get on the bike I remind myself that I'm on the bike, and that I need to be fucking careful.

I pay much more attention to other cars, what they are doing, and what I think they might do.

And it carries over to when I'm driving my car.
