Should I feel like conservative scum for not wanting to sit in an utterly uncomfortable cage when riding a motorcycle? I see and know all the motives behind, I can even agree with them, yet I want something not a car. Sorry about that.

And it kind of hurts, because I always have to fight that very conservative crowd who always take their time to criticize me for the very dangerous practice of coasting...

See, I totally embrace efficiency until the point I have to give up too much for it. I'm much into alternative driving techniques. Some streamlining is very okay. But racing tuck is beyond that point (just imagine riding in that position for like 16 hours). Cruiser position is better, but simply not comfortable on the long term. Recumbents scare me sh*tless. Enclosed bikes are not bikes anymore, just unstable cars never to take on frozen roads.
