I had a mate try to swap tapes on his walkman on a PI trip one year, except the wind caught it and unravelled all the tape out...

I don't when I'm riding in to work, but only because its not worth mucking around with for such a short trip.

Other than that I always have music on. I've done long trips without music and its very boring. Jen can always tell when I have Nickelback playing in the twisties, I'm much harder to catch.

I use noise cancelling earphones. They take away a lot of the wind noise. Jen tried it, but she couldn't find a pair that didn't hurt her ears under the helmet.

One thing though, I've tried listening to audio books on MP3, and thats a completely different thing. Requires too much concentration, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Did I mention I like Nickelback? MAY 4!!!!

I rarely ride without my i-pod especially on the twisties i find it helps me concentrate, ive got to the point now that if i dont have it i dont really enjoy the ride.

absolutely everytime, strape my 4G ipod around my arm, and earphones plugged in and the tight helmet makes it nice and more bass, it's very convenient, then you can change between songs and adjust volume with your left hand..........

i love my ipod

i ride faster in the twisties if something pumping is playing... but that's rarely so that's my excuse for going slow

On longish trips ive caught myself singing (Creedence Clearwater out of key at 130kmh). Sad really, the yoshimura backed fullface cover versions, where the lyrics dont matter. should get myself a MP3 player
or seek clinical diagnosis.
