Could not agree more. I really don’t want to listen to anyone whilst riding. I don’t even have my sat nav on any kind audible thing. It’s muted. As I see it motorcycling is a solo thing whilst riding. In the evening at the bar, or stopping for a brew etc I’m happy to talk, chat. Whilst riding though there’s just me in my helmet. Sometimes there’s more than one of me though.
I'm quite happy to take her as it often lessens the fuel payments "Just nip in, whilst I fill it up?" But I really don't need to consider or discuss what's for tea or what time a cookery programme starts tonight..... Plus imagine the back seat rider..... "there's a bend coming up, why aren't you braking?"....gawd, that would do my head in!
