If it's necessary to do a public awareness campaign warning others that it's motorcycle season and to be aware of them, that's kinda a slap in the face that your vehicle is perhaps not the safest ride.
I recall being in a plastic surgeons office. He had a poster in his waiting room that read, "Support your plastic surgeon, ride of motorcycle".

If I could explain the desire to ride a bike, I'd be a VERY rich man. I'll take a crack at it though. When I'm in a car, I drive through the mountains. When I'm on my bike, I experience the mountains. Dunno, it's like trying to explain why you love a sunset (seriously) or why the Mona Lisa is the greatest portrait painting ever.
As for the public awareness comment....it's a solid point and I found it interesting. That said, I'd think that the embarrassment belongs to all the auto drivers that need to be reminded (year after year after year) that they should be paying attention? Seriously - put down the blackberry for 15 minutes. Stop applying your makeup. Get your hand outta your pants (seen twice this week, ewww).
