Engine noises gone

[Wisedrum]

Most of my riding these days is commuting in the city where I do not wear earplugs. I do carry earplugs with me for use out on the highway.

Same with me.
When riding for short time, not going fast, whatever this means, I want to hear
the surrounding, where I'm driving in, especially the CB noises, which aren't so many.

Taking longer trips with mostly higher speeds involved, I don't always
like to listen to the symphony, the wind creates. There is much more satisfying and calmer music than this.
So, I put in some earplugs an leave the "Shhhh" outside,
as good as the plugs can handle the job in combination with a jet helm and listen to the soundtrack, which also can be silence, in my head.
As a musician, you have always some music in your head. Surprisingly enough, it's often the same melody, that catches you in a loop
like a mantra. Maybe motorcycle riding animates this phenomenon on longer trips.
