I've never driven a 2 wheeled vehicle that I didn't have to pedal. I'm pretty sure that if I did, I'd like it, a lot, and while I do have a strong sense of self preservation, I don't trust myself. Besides, the drivers in Houston are the worst that I've ever seen, and I've driven all over the place (we'll assume that India and Russia are in their own class and don't really count for comparison's sake. I haven't driven either place, but I've seen the videos).

I've seen a bunch of the clips online of the sport bike racers that are trail braking into a corner and then powering out of the corner and seem to be drifting the bike at least through the braking, and sometimes a little coming out of the corner too. It's beautiful when done like that and I'm not really a bike guy, but man, it's just poetry in motion. I wish I could have found a good video with a bunch of clips to post into this thread.
