    Lump me into the "Pilot" crowd, like a plane, a bike requires knowledge, skill, familiarity and a head on a swivel to safely operate.

    BTW, the plane does not need a tuneup, just less humid air, those are apparently "CONTRAILS".

      Count me in for "Pilot" as well.

      I feel it better describes taking command of the vehicle.

        One more for pilot. Even the Japanese say pilot, the dash is refered to as a "Pilot Box".

              i'm sure some of you guys feel like a cowboy when your'e on these things, before cars were ever dreamt of, eating the dust, getting smelly and dirty and sweaty, needing of sleep and a bath even a drink at the watering hole yes you are homeless!

              and, all alone covering the miles,miles and miles.... it is your iron horse, only you and the saddle that you trust, you hug it, you polish it, you talk to it, when there is no one else to talk to .... you ride it....

                no opinion

                But when 2 souls are on the bike both are riding but only one is driving (except in a James Bond movie maybe) This query sounds abit like the counter steer discussions.
