Music while riding

[dangerous]

I used to listen to music when I rode, but what I found is that the type of music changed my riding style - heavy fast music in the twisties made me ride faster than normal

Yip good point, I find the same with my aperentices, if they are listening to there roudy shit tey get agro at their work, listen to my shit... and they work beter.

Never, my hearing is one of my senses I rely on to keep me alive.

good man.

I've also noticed that alot of car drivers have their mp3 players plugged into their ears. So what is the difference??

DOH... its a lot eiser to die on a bike


Now I am suprised at the poll its ran bloody close the hole time, very interesting.

I say V-twins make the best music.

Yup,agreed!I also like to sing Garth Brooks songs while riding...

But your poll is missing the "why the fuck would you want muzak when you can listen to the motor?"

I ride to places where there is a party where I will listen to muzak, in the same way I ride to places where I can park the bike and drink JD.

I tried but my earbuds got caught in my helmet...not good.
Now, I don't even think about it. I'd far rather hear the sound of the zorst.
And I need to concentrate 100% on my riding.

I reckon the music, (and singing along) takes the monotony out of the boring bits of the ride.

The safety issue is very arguable Darryl, given how loud a lot of our bikes are. and what we can hear over them anyway.

My earplugs for music/radar are inserted into the lining of the helmet, so you don't Have the prob of them getting caught each time you put on or take off your helmet... All very technical & you wouldn't know they were there except for wiring popping out under the helmet

Heres the answer to that mate.

Now that's wicked!
