This morning a oke came past me on a bike which you could clearly tell he was enjoying the music he was listening to.
I feel I am in the minority when it comes to music while riding, I simply don't do it. Most, if not all the people I ride regularly listen to some tunes on a ride. I find it very distracting.
It wasn't always the case. Back when I had my 1200 I had a system installed where I could listen to music. I will never forget the last song I listened to while on a bike. It was this...

I was riding some small tarred pass just outside Hermanus when I overcooked a corner badly because I was into the song and throttle and almost saw my ass permanently. I then decided to take the earphones out and they have never been back.
So, do you like to listen to music when riding or is it just you and your thoughts (...which could be good and bad...)?
