what goes on inside your helmet?

[wildchild]

depends on the ride and the reason for the ride. sometimes i sing, watch scenery, watch girls etc. sometimes i focus very intently on the ride if it's a spirited ride. sometimes i just ride to relieve tension then i mostly listen to the bike, it's better then any psychologist.

Actually it's not handling perfect. I gotta tweak the set up slightly when I get it back out.

And I didn't say I wasn't paying attention. If a deer jumps out I'll slay it. jacko

Sometimes I do this.

I have never listened to music when I ride, but I think when I'm sporting it would be a distraction.

I would say this ^^

Now you sound like a "girl".

Let me guess, you sing "Like a Virgin" by Madonna?

Build me up Buttercup or My Girl are the two that get the most air time.

It was just the first song that popped into my mind
