Actually it's not handling perfect. I gotta tweak the set up slightly when I get it back out.

And I didn't say I wasn't paying attention. If a deer jumps out I'll slay it. jacko

Sometimes I do this.

I have never listened to music when I ride, but I think when I'm sporting it would be a distraction.

I would say this ^^

Now you sound like a "girl". :lol

laughter, joy, self actualization, escaping into my own world

I listen to musico. It think about whatever comes to mind or I talk to myself or I cuss out the asshole near me.

For me, part of the enjoyment in riding is the fact that I can unplug from so many things and just 'exist' in my head for a while. No cell phone, no radio/music, no discussions with anyone (other than myself), no e-mails, etc. When riding on stretches of road where I don't have to focus so intently, my mind will wander off in one of any directions. I love it. My mind is free to do as it likes.

I may think about a problem at work I'm working on, personal life/family, what to cook for dinner this weekend, what that hot mom I saw in line at Publix the other day looks like in her panties, is there really a God, etc. I often find myself humming a song or making guitar sounds. I may do nothing more than observe the world around me and take marvel in even the simplest things.

Being such an analytical person, I value that I have at least one outlet that allows me to find freedom from the shackles of daily events. Woodworking / building things is another avenue of mental therapy for me.

Build me up Buttercup or My Girl are the two that get the most air time. ;)

It was just the first song that popped into my mind
