Default RE: Seat belt?

I always wear my seat belt while in a cage. I don't get the urge to put one on when sitting on the bike, but I have noticed an occassional funny feeling - like something is missing. In short time, it occurs to me I'm not wearing a seat belt and I laugh at myself for being so conditioned.
I've hit the truck window a couple times going to wave at a bike, too. Almost the same type of conditioning.
Funny creatures of habit we are. I gotta ride more.

ORIGINAL: Sick1200

No on the seat belt. But, I do get the urge to wave at other bikers when I'm in my truck.
My daily driver is a Jeep, and Jeeps wave to each other.&nbsp\\; So I catch myself waving to Jeeps from my bike, and waving at bikes from my Jeep, I get all messed up.&nbsp\\; What doesn't make it any easier is when it's hot and I take the top and doors of my Jeep, that makes it feel even more like a bike.&nbsp\\; Last summer I had the windshield folded down for 3 weeks (gotta love Jeeps) and just wore my Wiley-X glasses/goggles, and actually had a few Harley riders wave to ME.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\; Guess they figured no top, no doors, no windshield, goggles, close enough.

No.&nbsp\\; I do ride my bike more than my truck though, so I actually find myself rolling all the windows down in my truck when I do drive because I feel clastrophbic with them up.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Used to bein' in the wind.&nbsp\\;

i always wear my seatbelt in the truck, but haven't had the urge on the bike yet.&nbsp\\; Definitely, repeatedly smack the windows trying to wave at other bikes though.
