RE: Opinions - The similarity between motorcycle racers and fighter pilots
@thebatmanbiker, both have similar challenges but are different at the same time.
since im not a fighter jet pilot, and doubt there is a bunch of them in here. i will go ahead and state that motorcycle is more difficult since it requires more interaction for a longer period of time, where as a jet pilot is limited by how long they can fly and most likely don't fly alone or have a ton of support in the ground.
motorcycle racers are one with the machine much more so than a fighter pilot i would imagine.
Maybe, you never know how a racer feels or a fighter pilot feels when the visor slams shut or the canopy closes. Man and machine. It's crazy to think of such things from a mortal standpoint of view.
For sure, fighter pilots have much more ground support, etc, but they are no less as one with the machine as racers are with their bikes.
It's hard to differentiate, I suppose.
