Default Uneasy feeling when riding...

I've noticed sometimes when i'm riding down the highway, i get an uneasy feeling. not dizzy, not really lightheaded, just an uneasy feeling. i dont get this when i'm on my dirt bike, or doing other everyday stuff. is it all in my head ?? has anybody else experienced this ??
motion sickness maybe ? [:-]

Not had anything like that. Are you riding w/o ear protection? Maybe that has something to do w/it.

No , i dont wear hearing protection, and yes , my bike is a little on the loud side.
could it be possible that excessive noise could throw off my equalibrium in my ears just enough to cause the unsteady feeling ?

I know the feeling, just can't describe it or explain it. I don't get it all the time, just occationally and usually on a long ride or trip. However, since my accident back in February, I am a bit more uneasy than usual.
Just error on the side of caution and be extra careful. I remember what an old biker told me years back when I started riding.
Never be in a hurry to get anywhere.
You NEVER have the right of way, even if you have the green light. To many cagers run light and stop signs.

Geez, I thought that the euphoric buzz was natural when riding.
