That's the way I see it too, Jack! Of course, I flatter myself that I'm still just as good a car driver when I've got Entheogenic pounding away in the Audi, and I was theorising that the brain has got spare capacity while still concentrating on driving. Your experience suggests otherwise, and I'm sure that concentration on a bike is (and needs to be) at a higher level than in a car. Besides, I want to hear the motor...
