Riding with music..
 

Hello guys! I just have a question about riding with a headset for music on, I tried it one time and it kinda got me a little nervous because I think personally i get distracted and starts singing with the tune which take away some of my focus on the task at hand, so no more music for me while riding and the singing will just be in my bathroom! hehehe..So do you guys ride with some music on?? thanks and always ride safe!!

Tried music with the bike. Didn't like it because it distracted me. So much for multitasking. :lol:

I thought about music, but found that I wander on the road when just looking at the sights. I don't need something else taking my attention.

I won't even entertain music. I need all my senses focused on my surroundings and operating my bike.

I listen to pretty heavy stuff and I suspect it would not coincide well with riding a motorcycle (where I need to stay calm, maintain patience and a clear mind). For my own safety, I'm choosing not to try it.

By the way...I know this is a little off-topic, but...When looking at scenery side to side, I now note where my mirrors line up with the edge and center stripes of the road and keep them lined up at the bottom of my eyesight. After a little practice it works well to keep the bike from wandering in the lane. I only do this on the empty country roads, it's not good to do much sight-seeing in town/traffic or during curves.

I ride with music using my Scala Rider. I'm not distracted at all. In fact, it keeps me calm and relaxed. I think it's a personal preference. The silence would drive me crazy and would in fact distract me. My mind would actually wander and I would zone out.

I don't listen to music while I'm riding, but I do often sing while I'm riding. It's one place I can sing and nobody else has to listen, lol. :)

Lynda used to sing when we were riding together. She may have been 200 feet behind me but those 2 way radios were not on her mind. :lol: :lol:

I did drive with music, but having the usbplayer and all that playlists, ... It does not distract me from careful driving, i just don't like to move around or having a lot of work, when i come off or on the bike...
