The lack of responsibility associated with public transport (apart from the responsibility to board at boarding time and disembark at your destination) is attractive. I don't want to be responsible for a 300 pound machine, I only want to be responsible for myself.

Yes, motorcycle touring in Asian traffic is an adventure, but one second of clueless fucktardation and you're in a hospital with broken bones. There is no such thing as right of way BTW. No stop signs. Everything is about reacting to what's in front of you and making intuitive decisions based on reading the behavior of others.
