What, you're saying *motorcycling* is the be-all and end-all activity?

I've ridden for 20 years, and (IMHO) it is VERY similar to flying. I love
it dearly, but it is essentially just 2/3s of what flying is -- minus the
third dimension.

Until you can pull back on the handlebars and have the cycle go up, there
will be no comparison.

I agree that flying is a greater pure thrill than motorcycling and I
have more than 30 years of motorcycling and approaching 30 years of
flying. However, since I live 40 minutes from the nearest airport, it
is much easier to walk down to my garage and take a spin on the bike
when I have a spare couple of hours, than it is to spend 1.5 of those
hours driving to and from the airport for a 30 minute hop.

And a motorcycle provides, as you say, maybe 2/3 rds of the thrill for
about 1/10 the money so it is a pretty good deal! :-)
