I've just remembered something the senior instructor told us once...he said there are people who ride motorcycles and then there are people who sit on motorcycles.In my experience I have found motorcycle riders to generally carry over a sort of vigilant driving style when we operate cars/trucks where we are more aware of other vehicles especially motorcycles and can better predict situations before they arise. I've taught my students to ride in a "bubble" and to expect that each and every car driver doesn't see them (mostly that's the case anyway).
In defense of this, there are far less distractions on a motorcycle so the rider can concentrate more on operating the bike and not changing channels on the radio or adjusting the heat/air conditioning or listen to passengers...
