Lol... check this story my mom told me yesterday.
My mom was driving her car on a road where riding aggressively is the norm. A bike came around a hard corner with full lean angle. It scared her so much she slammed the breaks and headed for the white line. She said she almost came to a complete stop.
The biker made the corner and road on.
Then my visit the next day.... She says "I hope you are not riding like that. That guy must have been flying, and I thought he was going to wreck at any moment." I had my cell with me that had a vid of me riding. So I let her watch it. After a bit of education about what is really going on, she is more comfortable with it. She sees me in full gear on a 98 degree day with 98% humidity, going 55 (the speed limit) riding pretty hard. Don't get me wrong, it still scares the crap out of her, but she now understands what the machines are designed to do within "safe" limits.
Like I have said before about the normal perception,
1. it looks fast
2. it sounds fast
3. it must be going fast
