Apologies if this posts twice, but that's my take too, Jack. Of course, I flatter myself that I'm still just as competent a driver with Entheogenic pounding away in the Audi, and was hypothesising yesterday that the brain has spare capacity and strict priorities. Your experience does suggest otherwise, and I've always felt that bike riding takes a lot more concentration. Besides, I want to hear the engine!
