Ok, so i'm not that bad, and I know when it gets bad and I take measures, I dont endanger those around me, but its always better for me to have music to distract those random thoughts, it helps me focus on the road. But i dont answer or play with my phone when I ride. And when i ride the track I never have music...its all personal preference, and Metallica is DEF a good choice, as well as Ozzy, Shinedown, Disturbed...etc...

interesting, i pour all of my adhd into constant scanning. some shit i taught myself to do: if you focus on nothing you pay attention to everything if i ride with the walkman i'll always reach inside the lid and push the buds out of my ears into the pockets of the lid

I focus better on riding when listening to music... same as when I'm driving... with out it... my mind wanders... and I stop paying attention to what i'm doing...

it's weird though as I don't concentrate on the music... but it stops my mind from wandering... and keeps me focused on the task at hand... which usually is figure'n out if the asshole in the BMW is gonna cut off the Soccer mom in the Suburban and cause her to slam on her brakes and or swerve into my lane...

I do... anytime I see someone I don't think sees me.... a guy pulling out... someone fading twords my lane... ect... just a quick BEEP...

The constant wind noise and your motor humming along can make your mind drift easier than anything.

That's why you see crosses on perfectly straight highways. People just zoning out watching the lines and listening to the humm of the road.

And I believe the autobahn in Germany was designed to constantly change directions to prevent people from drifting off. Gotta pay attention if running 100mph and the road keeps changing directions.

With the right volume (Not blasting your drums out) of music and as long as it's not some trickling waterfall CD or Rage Against the Machine. Then music can help.

But when hauling ass in the mountains I ride with no radio so I can consentrate on everything around me.

fuck you i wont do what you tell me

I usually have Techno in my riding playlist. kinda gets me into a rythim... but my mind doesn't drift off to what the song reminds me of...

yeah I've got add something horrible.

[Dave]

my playlist is as randomly thrown together as is humanly possible. prob the best "riding" song on there though is Whats up people! from the opening of deathnote. cant stand the show but the music was amazing

Exactly!! Thats how I am. I dont even necessarily know or acknowledge what I am listening to, but it helps me to focus. I see everything on the road already, but there is always so much going on in my head that i am thinking about several different things as well as the ride. Just how my head works. Kinda like multitasking. The music calms the other thoughts so all my attention is on the ride at that point. At the track I dont need it, as I am completely focused on the task at hand, but with all the loooooong straight boring ass roads around here...its easy to mentally wander off!
