I feel you on the waving to bikers in my cage haaha. I did have a strange feeling when i first bought my bike and \\;when I \\;would transition back to my car. I think it was more of being super aware of everything around me on my bike carrying over to my cage. Cant say that i have tried to lean into corners or pop wheelies but porobably have not been riding long enough for that.

Try leaning into a curve when your in your cage........I've done it, and cracked up laughing
Holy crap, I thought I was nuts for doing that!!! \\; Glad I'm not the only one.

I always say that if it's not raining or I'm not gettin the groceries, my truck doesn't leave the carport...I'm much more comfortable on the bike, and sometimes it does feel odd getting back in the truck...and I'm glad to hear that it's not just me doin the leanin and wavin in the truck...my daughters have caught me doin that stuff and just roll their eyes at me...

RE: Disoriented while driving cage
The rare times when I have to drive the car or truck I'm usually agitated at the fact that I couldn't ride my bike. I truly HATE driving anything other than a motorcycle anymore and only do so when forced to (IE: have to haul some large item, have to go \\;buy some bales of hay or it's raining like hell and \\;the dirt road I live on is muddy).

Disoriented? Yeah I think I know what you mean, I don't feel natural in a cage anymore I guess.
