DVD's, no.

Images of fairing-mounted rocket launchers spring to mind a a regular basis, though.. :)

Oh, and thought of favourite riding song - Down with the Sickness by Disturbed. Awesome tune...
Don't give up.

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

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

I don't sing, but I do talk to myself a lot. If that makes others think I'm a nut and move further away, that's all right by me.

In town: .... speed up you old geezer....do you see me, I can see you talking on the phone, do you see me?.....pick a lane fella, any lane...hey kid, yeah two wheels, dig it....no, I'm not going to look at you pimple face, or your low-rider Honda Civic with purple windows....

Out in the county: ....oh my, feedlot - can't say that I like all the country smells....ahh, some more winding roads.....look past the curve Bob....uh oh, tractor ahead, slowing down, whoa! going wide....[waaaah].... really 'preciate that gomer, how about you and mama taking the manure spreader out the back gate.....hmm, think I'll stop and go back there: old school house, cemetery, musta been a town here once, worth a look around....

Singing songs while riding works well when it's raining! -- really helps get the mind focused on the ride and the freedom of being out there, even if the weather is not perfect :D

when the roads get really nice and twisty the songs are instrumentals --- classical music, with hard violin, deep base, etc... concertos :D

p.s. it's a shame the forums have to be rebuilt... oh well... a chance for renewed clarity and fresh perspectives...

No, I'm entirely too busy dragging pegs and bar-ends, grinding chicken strips, and wheelying to overtake and destroy every other vehicle ahead of me on the road. :)

Sometimes, sing if something comes to mind. In the city Im paying more attention to the other drives then anything else.

Absolutely, I do it all the time. Whether it be a song or just humming something.
Many say live to ride, I say ride is to live.
