A similar question: how many pilots are also motorcycle riders? This
question was asked by the instructor at a CFI seminar I attended in the
mid-1990s, and perhaps a quarter of the CFIs there raised their hands.

Just curious how many of us are out there?
One nice thing for me is that its so nice to be able to Ident an
ILS/LOM/VOR or NDB without having to decode the dits and dahs.
I ride a bike...
2001 Suzuki GSXR 750
1994 Honda RS 125 (track bike).
I've been riding street bikes since I was 19, and rode dirt bikes
before that. Motorcycles and flying are crack cocaine for me!
A friend of mine I rode w/ in college a few years ago also has his
PPL. I've also ran into assorted other pilots that ride, so maybe
there's some kind of correlation there. I think they're no too unlike
each other, both rewarding you for knowledge and experience. Deadly
to those who don't have respect for it. Keep the rubber side down!
