I tape porn pics to my speedometer for inspiration and motivation during a session......no audio though. I couldnt imagine hearing moaning and screaming coming hot into T1 after the straight. Either way, it would give new meaning to the word, asspucker.

I vote Nay on the Ipod. Twist that throttle a little bit more-especially on that 1000rr, that'll pull your attention back to the track. It's my opinion, not yours. Maybe worth an amendment to the rules though. :idea:

Seriously dude your just being silly. You need to ditch the ipod and listen to what your bike is doing. Look around at the faster guys on the track and tell me how many have an ipod in their ear. Its not safe and pretty irresponsible.

I'm trying to understand how you possibly focus better and ride better while adding yet another thing on your to do list while riding your bike. I just don't get it. Between focusing on my turn, brake, accelerate markers, feeling traction at both the front and rear of the bike, thinking about mistakes I'm making, following the race line, reacting to the movements of the people around me, etc etc...I don't understand how listening to music while doing all of the above things could possibly make any of them easier. Especially when you can't hear the engine or the people around you.

My 13 year old is faster than your President
Not to mention the possibility of strangulation in the event of an agricultural experience. :meatball:

And if you crash and trash your iPod, isn't adding the cost of replacing that to the cost of the crash adding insult to injury? I'm SURE Morph would LOVE to have another B grouper ass pack him because he was busy hitting his click wheel while setting up for T1 at Summit.

I agree with all the CR's and Advanced riders that have chirped in on this thread. The track's NOT the place for the iPod. They're the voices of reason and experience talking here, experience you do not have. Am I a CR or A group rider, No. But I've been around NESBA since 2002. I can ALMOST recite the rider's manual and I have a TON of respect for these guys and gals because they give their time and effort to help me, and you, grow and progress as riders in a safe, controlled environment. They're not only trying to look out for your safety, but the rest of your group as well. If your bike's revving and your iPod's jammin' how can you hear the rider who is about to pass you? He or she's putting a wheel on you, but you don't hear it because Motley Crue's "Smokin' in the Boys Room" is filling your auditory senses. You hear them at the very last second, it spooks you, you jerk, put a steering input into the bars, swerve to where you looked while the other rider is executing the pass, and SLAM, you two share a ride together on the crash truck, and maybe meet some really nice EMTs in the process. You may have bikes to spare around the house, but how would you feel about taking out a rider who has a family, has to miss work because if injuries he sustained because you had to get your groove on?

In every response you've posted in this thread you've only thought of and spoken of YOUR needs. What about the wants, needs, and desires of everyone else in your group during your session? Do you realize your ignorant disregard for your own as well as their safety goes against everything the NESBIAN WAY has stood for for almost 15 years?

Instead of listening so much to your iPod, maybe you should listen to these CRs. I also hope the Directors and CR's are reading this thread so they catch you and anyone else trying to sneak portable music players onto any NESBA track session.

When it comes to track day safety, forgive me ladies, but I have a HARD ON for that shit. I want everyone I meet to have more fun than they can have without contraceptives like I do, and we all go home with our bikes shiny to tuck back in the garage until our respective next events.

D-Zum Over and OUT.

Wow, five pages and no CR comments on iPod use. I'm very surprised considering the motard thread which was also safety related....

From some of toptaz's posts, although he didn't come out and say it, I got the impression that they know and he's allowed to use it. If they did make an exception for him for whatever reason, I don't think he should be advertising it... :dunno:

if i was a CR and I saw a rider using an MP3 player i would proceed to not let them on the track until they took it off

if you have that bad of ADD that you need to listen to music to ride a motorcycle you should not be on the track

So at pit-out should there be a check for Ipods while checking for back protectors?

Also, I'm not very familiar with ADD, but is it advisable to ride on a track with a medical condition that affects attention?

more people ride with than you guys think.....

i do not know for a fact, but i would guess that if someone does have some music running while they are riding that they are not listening and concentrating to the music per-say, but simply have it running and for what ever reason... it helps them concentrate, focus and relax........ you get in to somewhat of a rhythm yah know....

personally right now, i wear ear-plugs and spend my 15-20 mins humming "Mary had a little lamb".........

or i may hear in my head or humm a Metallica song...........

but usually its "Mary had a little lamb...."

:eek:
