Have any or all of you felt this way

I commuted yesterday for the first time this season. After coming home I went out with my kids in the car. It felt so sluggish and heavy. Now I ride a ninja 250 so it is not a powerhouse. Makes me wonder what riders on the SS' must feel.
 
Yeah, neither of my cars wheelie or can spin a tire at 100 :(
 
I find it a challenge to drive an automatic after riding my bike.
 
I drive a v8 truck it isnt slow,I found the biggest change when I ride the 250,then jump on the klr650 the change is crazy.

I feel... slumped and lazy when I drive right after I get off my bike. I'm also much more aware of the fact that I am in a MOVING BOX. lol.

I don't know if it's because I'm a new rider, or if it's because I actually prefer riding, but being on a bike seems more... natural.

Yeah, I get the same feeling about being in a box. And like was stated by JS2021, I find myself looking around much more often now.
 
I have tendency to waive at other riders when i'm driving my car
 
I was neutral with cars before riding, I also kinda liked fast cars.

I ****ing hate driving now. All cars are bigger so your spatial awareness goes down. The car obviously feels heavier. The seat position makes you feel like a midget (unelss you're in an SUV or truck). The car is DEFINITELY slower (even compared to the 250R). Scratching your *** doesn't require you to counter steer.

Long story short, I feel very disconnected with a car when driving. It might just be my attitude though.
 
You have no idea the pain I go through every winter because I go from my 06 gixxer 600 ==> 2000 Dodge Caravan... /facepalm
 
First time on a bike was a CBR125. Whoaaa this thing is nuts!!

After riding a 600, had to ride a friend's 125 to a parking lot..felt ridiculously underpowered with all the wrist cranking and gear pounding in comparison. Even the 250 when I jumped on felt vastly different, once again riding it to a parking lot for someone.
