Default Disoriented while driving cage
Does anyone else feel disoriented while driving a cage? I ride 38 miles to work then drive a pickup. I feel so out of place in it.

I don't own a cage, but I get nauseated and lightheaded whenever I ride in my fiance's SUV, because I only ride in cars maybe once every 2-3 months.&nbsp\\; Never happened until I started&nbsp\\;to only ride a&nbsp\\;bike a few years ago.

Even worse&nbsp\\;is after coming home from several days on the ATV, and fanning the clutch trying to wheelie your pickup truck over a set of rough tracks.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Damn near had to pull over while I laughed that one off.&nbsp\\;

I've put three times the miles on my bike as I have my daily driver in the last year.
I know what you mean,every month that goes by it gets worse.

Not that being allergic to driving cages is a bad thing.
