In this episode of the Throttle and Roast podcast, host Niels Meersschaert reflects on the stark contrasts between driving a modern car and riding a motorcycle. He discusses how motorcycles offer a unique sensory experience that enhances our connection to nature. Unlike cars, which isolate drivers from their surroundings with quiet interiors, motorcycles provide vivid sounds—from engine roars to wind rushing by—that create a sense of speed and awareness. Niels highlights the benefits of these sensory experiences, including increased safety through heightened awareness of surroundings, and the joy of feeling more connected to the ride itself. Ultimately, he argues that motorcycles are the perfect vehicles to encourage a return back to nature and a more immersive experience on the road.Send us a textSupport the showThanks for listening!
