For some reason, riding is about solitude for me. Just me inside my head and have always found all kinds of problems/issues become solved by some magic of the brain. In years gone by rode with a bunch of friends one of whom in particular always had to have his 'tunes' plugged in. Thus every stop/restart everyone has to hang around an extra 5 minutes while Dan dicked around with his bloody wires/buds/pockets/playlist selection!! FFS! Let's just GO! :-)
TLF Yes i listen to music, it does change your riding style. i have a helmet system that works ace, i play tunes on my akros as im listening to the songs lol
Yes, I love listening to music when I ride - I can still hear / feel the engine. For me music goes with everything and as I love riding my bike and listening to music why not combine them? :-)
