Question

How do I keep from getting bored on a long motorcycle trip?

Answer 1

I take an ipod and satellite radio.  You need a very quiet helmet and sony earplug style earbuds.

Answer 2

I think you are in the wrong hobby, maybe you should take up boating.

Answer 3

Pop a wheelie, do a burnout, breakdance, do a driveby, play hide and seek ect

Answer 4

How could you get bored?  I've ridden 14 hours and never got bored the entire time. No music, just the thoughts in my mind and the wind in my face.

Last night I was out on a ride and all I could think about was how much I love riding. Riding never gets boring.

Answer 5

My arms legs, and crotch have been tired or sore from a long ride, but I can't say that i have ever been "bored." like the rest..i think music might help. "Bored?"

Answer 6

sorry are you driving on riding.. but either way if your bored stop get off... count bugs.... wave at everyone...  

Answer 7

1. Listen to music any kind of it but especially "rock" music works.

2. Try yourself to make you enjoy the trip by seeing the views around you and see how greatly they are ordered

3. Try to talk alot (if someone is you in the bike)

And if you think that it works please choose it as a best answer

Answer 8

Yeah if you get bored on a ride....maybe you shouldn't be riding. Usually anytime I'm bored I go for a ride, so I can't relate.

Answer 9

Think of all the people who died on the roads,because they were bored and fell asleep at the wheel or in your case the handle bars.

Answer 10

Pick better roads, or better destinations.  

If that's not possible, go with an Ipod and helmet speakers or headphones.  I like to listen to podcasts on long trips, but music helps, too.

Answer 11

Get some tunes going with an i-pod or CD player. Not much else you can do on two wheels.

Some other advice. Get a windshield. The wind pushing on your chest will tire you out fast. And if you have straight pipes or loud mufflers, that will drive you crazy on a long trip. Have fun !!

Answer 12

Ipod or MP3 player. be aware that some states make it illegal to use earphones, so we ran the cords up inside our shirt so they could not be seen.

Ride safe

Answer 13

If long trips bore you, maybe you should be getting rid of the bike.

Answer 14

if you're bored, you're doing it wrong

if you're still bored, give it up its not for you

Answer 15

What type of motorcycle are you riding?

One of my suggestions is to always have music on, either an iPod or some type of mp3 player.

Its extremely hard not to get bored on a long motorcycle trip if your riding solo.

I can only recommend music to listen to while your riding your bike!

Answer 16

I try to spend as little time on Interstate Highways as possible. I'll take them for some portion of the trip if I need to make time, but secondary roads are much more entertaining. Practice your riding skills. It's fun. Look out for road hazards on those secondary roads though, and don't spend so much time looking around that you miss paying attention to road hazards, tractors, animals and the 100 other things that can kill you. Stop every hour or two as well.  

Answer 17

I'm sorry but i don't understand how you can get bored on a bike.

Answer 18

passanger, listen to movies, listen to music, read, burp, play wind hand etc.

Rider, speed up/slow down, take a break, change roads to backroads vs freeway so you have to do more while riding, boredom sets in when your just going straight, and it will dull your sense's and could cause a accident.

Answer 19

beer's lot's of em.

Answer 20

If you are the passenger I don't know what to tell you.. if you are the rider and get bored at the best possible way to see America...from the back of an iron horse... then I'm not sure I know why you ride. Do you or the group dead head at breakneck speed to your destination???... or do you do country roads at a speed where you can enjoy the countryside... that's what our group does and we can go 10 - 11 hours a day. Some days I ipod (9.5 hours of music on it) some days I don't.
