here in NYC, people seemed to have formed motorcycle 'gangs' of sorts. Imagine a group of folks you've encountered revving along in the streets, all with their custom-made leather jackets but riding Kawasakis instead of big choppers. Bonus points if you catch a small group of dirt-bike riders. Those things are LOOOOUD.
..Frankly, I still prefer the look Harley-Davidsons. :3
Yeah, motorcycles have a great p/w ratio and so will out-accelerate anything on four wheels. It's great fun to be first in the intersection when the light goes green but for most of us it gets old. For me, I like being the exceptional motorcyclist that actually gives cars room and yields right of way.
I don't get why so many motorcyclists feel they need to prove something to you if you're on two extra wheels.
Not really. They need to prove to the universe they are really badass. Think about it, though. This is the mentality that says "Wow, horribly quick, neon colored, loud flashy machine! It is perfect!" rather than taking into consideration things like cargo capacity, trunk space, not getting soaked in the rain, being able to drive on snow (a little), and having room for more than one passenger, or at least one in comfort where playing music is an option, and not smelling exhuast is a benefit.
Not saying there is a total immature "MY TOY!" mentality ... but ... I'm just sayin' ...
