Default what goes on inside your helmet?

For me, riding is therapy. it's why I'll probably never give up street riding all together.

I think about anything and everything when riding... my job, my next base, trips around the world, the blond with the rack in the car next to me, the economy in Ireland, ect...


but mostly I think about where my life is headed... I find that though I'm generally happy in my life... I'm happiest, on the bike, with the road ahead of me, and time to enjoy it.


I tend to sing random songs to myself.... make random noises... even call cadence


so anyways... what goes on up there?

Hmm.... I try not to think a whole lot about anything but the ride itself... The sounds, the smells, the scenery....

Me too! Heck, I have a FM radio and a MP3 player on my set-up and I don't even bother turning it on.

You shoulda been a singer. lol

I focus on the road ahead...I rarely ride the speed limit...it's always fast splitting or canyon runs. There isn't any time to be singing to myself with trying to pass cars or watch for cops.
