Default Bored while on the highway

I don't know...maybe I'm the only one that does this but..

When I'm riding to work (about a 20 mins ride) I find myself finding the exact tone my engine is making...and just humming it in perfect harmony...

Then when I go faster I just raise the pitch of my voice to match the tone again...


Yes...i didn't have much toys as a child...

Sometimes when I'm flying to work at 100+, I sing "born free" as loud as I can in my helmet.

But I'm just weird like that.

I like to sing too. You don't have to worry about anyone catching you singing and feeling stupid when you have your helmet on (unless you happen to sing real loud). Sometimes I'll do my best to push out as many farts as possible and see if I can match the tone of my GYT-R slip-on.

BTW Ken...is that a pic of Sho'nuff from The Last Dragon in your avatar? That's an 80's B-movie classic.
