My first CFI was a gifted pilot and a crotch rocket fiend. He was 23 years old when he missed a curve and hit a telephone pole. His ashes were scattered from an airplane. In a plane death is always present, but often a mile or more away. On a motorcycle, death is always about 3 feet away. In a plane, you are your own worst enemy. On a motorcycle, any mistake by a stranger can kill you. ( I was once boxed in by four cars at 80mph on a freeway- scary) My bike, a vintage BMW sits pickled and unused, while I romance my plane on a regular basis. No real comparison.

An airplane won't hurt you unless you make it. It's OK to like motorcycles but you have to love airplanes. I'm gaining on the KR2.
