Dont listen to Music, as i am trying to get into the "zone" and need all the concentration i can get.... hence why i wear earplugs.....

bose have some really nice noise cancelling headphones out, i asked and they have integrated them into hemets for air force pilots, so if you had them no need for earplugs.

I'm a singer too, just got home from raglan and the whole way back it was brian ferry "Psycho killer, kass kassay, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa betta run run run run run run run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"

a mate of mine was into rally and i was trying to get him to put some little speakers in my lid. never really got round to it tho, i suppose if you need to listen to music then your obviously riding on a boaring road. best course of action is to tacke the back roads where ever you go!

A wandering mind would soon have you over the bank down here in the Bay. I agree with what you say, but I find the stress release comes from planing the next corner and then thinking about the one just completed. It takes your mind away from the stress of life for long enough to feel good after the ride.

Yay! {wheres the "loud applause" smilie!??}

Mrs H has an MP3 with those Sony grommet-style earplugs. Seems to do the business for her. A lot of extra kit to mess around with when you're getting dressed up for a ride though.

A minidisk with Funtopia "in-ear" earphones for me.

I listen to all sorts of stuff, but my favourites include several NZ music filled minidisks and another minidisk with various film soundtracks on it (City of Angels, You've Got Mail, Northern Exposure).

Got a MP# player built into me phone, so i used to chuck some songs in there and ride with that.
Stopped doing that for a while. Since i got the stormvehicle that was nice enuf.
But lately been sitting a traffic, doing 100ks (6K revs) - and going metally deaf from the exhaust - so i might fire up the mp3 again

I listen to stereo music, the ever so slightly louder than factory zorsts on the Guzzi ( and all the other thumps, rattles and associated noises that Guzzis make)
Never tried introduced music and don't think I ever will, that is for the car driving.

To listen to music would ruin my experience on my bike. This is why cages have stereos and bikes don't (usually)

I've got an Autocom unit that I plug either my CD or MP3 player into. I have to be careful as to the kind of music I listen to though as my real favourites, such as Maiden, Sabbath etc turn me into a bit of a speed freak. Hmmmmmmm - nice!

So I usually end up listening to some hard house, Radiohead, Sterophonics, Coldplay or some really soppy shite simply in an attempt to avoid killing myself.

Oh yeah, and I always try and avoid having the music up too loud. I kinda like hearing emergency vehicles screaming up behind me and cage driver horns warning me of their impending phukwitedness.

I listen to my helmet slowly making me deaf

Good taste in music

Listen to some Children of Bodom if you wanna go fast
