so after 600 miles on the bike, now when i corner hard in my cage, i feel like im being thrown around a lot. i drive a dakota R/T with the super wide tires and some upgraded cross-drilled slotted brakes, and the better suspension, so i like to take curves at relitivly high speeds, but now i feel like the thing is gonna roll over, i wanna lean the truck to go faster. (like that mercedes concept)

anyone else notice that after you start riding, the cage feels weird?

Not really, but I drive a Porsche 911, not a truck, so the difference in handling between my bike and my cage isn't so pronounced.

I've been putting on miles like it's going out of style on my bike recently. When I get in my car, I have the strangest habit of leaning in my seat to the inside of the corner. Doesn't do a thing at all except make me look funny to people watching.

I do that too! I just took a drive for the first time in about... 2 months, and I got in, sat down, looked at this wheel... and froze. I had no idea what to do with it.

Haha, I do the same thing Ryan. I don't even have a license to drive a car, only a permit, so I very, very rarely drive a car, and when I do, it's very odd feeling

Since I got my bike I refuse to drive a car. If I go out either someone takes me or I meet them there.

i gotta be honest i am "not a real biker" according to some, i only ride when its nice out, and i have time to get geared up, and i know where im going, or have time to get lost. so i drive the cage more than the bike, but i love the bike for what it is, a toy for entertainment.

I can't freaking stand the cage - especially our New Beetle. The A-Pillar on that car is humongous and is constatnly in the line of sight in most left hand curves, Drives me nuts.
