Do you sing songs in your head while riding?

#1 Unread post by totalmotorcycle »

I know this sounds like a crazy question and anyone admiting doing it should be sent to the nut house... but lots of riders do it, they get a song in their head while riding and it makes the riding more enjoyable.

So do you sing songs in your head while riding? If so, what ones?

I sing in my helmet all the time. And not always songs I like. Something will stick in my head and I'll start singing it. I know people can hear me sometimes at lights, but that makes it more fun to me.

The only songs I hear in my head when I'm riding are the ones coming from my MiniDisc player.

usually classic rock and maybe the odd bit of techno.

New favorite is Doctorin the Tardis by The Timelords. Extended mix. 8 minutes of techno goodness.

I usually sing whatever I've been listening to in my car. Lately that's been some J-pop (Japanese pop) so I, uhh, fake singing along since I can't speak Japanese for a damn.

Other than that, my staples are usually AC/DC and Audioslave.

For some silly reason, everytime I cross the 49th into the U.S.A., I hear Sammy Hagar's "Can't drive 55 in my head". EVERYTIME! Even though it's been years since 55 was the general rule, I guess that this kind of dates me as an almost geezer........There still seem to be lots of places where they enforce this rediculous speed limit in the "land of the free" however, and I have managed to find a couple of them in recent years.....

Yup - constantly and too wide a range of music to mention!
Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.
