Yep or how perfect it's handling... how smooth the road is...what would happen if a deer jumped out right now...

Usually it's very introspective, and calm. If it's cold, or I'm racing, I've been known to shout in my helmet.

I shout a lot... just to kill the boredom on long trips... seriously... I'm like a toddler who just makes noise to make noise...

I get that way too if I am tired and have to ride home on the freeway.

I am with Fleck. I ride so i wont think. Just flow, me the road, the bike. Nothing else matters...

I've been known to do that. I also think about anything and everything.

You have corners to keep you occupied......

If I am just cruising a long straight road, I wander mentally a little, but I try to avoid those type roads. I keep busy in there analyzing my riding and the ride itself which pushes the rest away. When I am pushing hard on the street or track I yell at myself fairly often when I make a mistake. It helps me that to refocus myself on the job at hand.
I have never listened to music when I ride, but I think when I'm sporting it would be a distraction.

Thats the beauty of it. Nothing matters save your braking, line, turn in point. No mortgage, vet appointments, work. Honeydos... just noise, speed, and vibration.

when I'm riding agressively... then only the riding comes to mind...

but seeing as most of my rides are more "senic" now that I've gotten the DRZ... I tend to just let my mind wander...

I'm much more at home with my thoughts in my truck... even more so on my bike.
