Can or do you listen to music while you ride?

**Kintore** · 12-31-2005, 12:17 AM

I got a new MP3 player for Christmas, just wanted to know if you can hear it over your motor?
And how many of you guys listen to music while riding?

Thanks!

Yeah I do. I love listening to Pusher Man, TNT, and Too Much Time On My Hands while I ride.

I do. With my iPod i have a armband for it so it doesnt fall. I listen to mostly rap and metal, seems to make me better.

The sound of my 2-stroke mill revvin' & screamin' is music to my ears and is the only music that I need or want to listen to!

i'll let you know after tomorow,i also got an ipod for xmas.i mostly want it for at the track.before the mx race's i get so nervous i think i'm gonna puke,hopefully i can slip on some s.o.a.d,or some 616 undone and rock out till it's time to line up.

I dont. I think I would get distracted and crash into a tree,

I don't, too much risk in it for me. Where I ride is all two way trails, and most of the time you don't have time to see people until you're within 15-20 feet, and riding single track you don't know where the other rider is till you're pretty much on top of eachother if you don't hear them first.

I tried it the last time I rode. But I was trying to focus on where I was going and the steep trails in front of me. So after a while I shut the MP3 player off and just rode. I found out it also pays to be able to hear the motor ..

I pay too much attention to engine noise and such, so no, I don't.

i did this last weekend.we rode wellsville,and i had the earphones in till they were uncomfotable.i thought it was awesome.i ripped up this hill after mt buddy max while singing along with some deftones.didn't seem to bother me at all.i could still hear the bike a little bit.

I dont normally listen to it while riding although when I do occasionally i use these super trick noise cancelling earphones to hear it.

I now cant listen to anything esle the sound quality is so good when you have then in!!

I agree tho, if your nervous, can take away that and also motivate you

I dont reccomend taking an ipod or other new mp3 playwith you unless you have a sealed case tho. The sand and grit is bad news.

Thanks for the reply guys! Seems like im going to listen to the motor on the Z. But the 200 is all music lol And I do like 3leg and pre listen to pump me up!

**honda200** · 01-04-2006, 10:21 PM

heck no, i pay too much attention to the motor, i am more worried about the damn motor then i am riding.

(i am an optimistic guy, i always assume the worse will happen)
