    what can I say? I'm permanently close to the edge of over excited when riding? Quite possible! I have a great deal of fun each morning on my rides in(combine sportsbike with heavy traffic, some open stretchs of mway a few sweepers and someone who's running late and its fun fun fun with or without tunes) but I'll often have some good funky sounds at home before I leave.

    music while lane splitting would be all bad though. I need all my concentration for that

    The two songs I've been using to amp myself up lately have been 10s by Pantera and The Unnamed Feeling by Metallica. But I'm sure that'll change soon. Y'all Want a Single by Korn is being played more and more often everyday.

    TOP GUN and 'happy days theme tune' before i would ride, when my bike was working

    If I get a new bike, I might have to get a mp3 player, and then with top gun on, i'll be dead in 2:32mins

    I've got over 700 songs on my iPod and set it to random. Nearly always ride with music these days.
    Sooooo much more pleasant than the wind noise the trophy fairing generates.

    I try to, but I usually get annoyed with the song and try to change it.

    And the temples of his Gods

    Sunday, Allun was playing 'Duality' by Slipknot before we went for the ride and I had that in my head for the rest of it. Funny how it fits in time with alot of the corners once you turn inland from the Maraetai coast...

    Used to listen to music when riding but I've stopped now. It's just gets too distracting, especially when riding around Auckland.

    Like having some music going, but i need some better headphones. the ones i have seems to fall out when i put my helmet on and it takes some fiddeling to get them in again with the helmet on.... But like to have music for the ride :spudguita

    Got to look out a bit for the hard rock /heavy metal as it seems to ifluence the driving style, speed and risk taking
