I've only driven my car once in the last 34 days despite the heat, and through a lightning/thunder/rain storm this morning before sunrise. I feel safe calling 'em "cagers".

I'm extremely visually oriented, so I feel more cramped in a car than on a bike because in the car a good third to half of my FOV is blocked by dash, window pillars, doors, and roof/visors. I've got door and console against my legs and arms, seat against bottom and back, and a steering wheel in front of me. Very confining-feeling

In the helmet I have can only really see the bottom lip of the visor opening, and even that only take a few percent off the bottom of my view. My peripheral view is unobstructed. The bike itself takes up little of my physical perception.
