I don't believe much more than the things I say out loud when it's just me in my helmet. If only I could jot down those pearls of wisdom(nonsense) while riding....

'OMG the war in the Holy Land is all about the tourism industry!' is a recent example.....

Is there a time when it's more than just you in your helmet?    ;)

I certainly can identify with that.

Is your helmet lined with tinfoil? ;)

I believe a high quality stereo in my helmet is in EVERYONE'S best interest. The voices on the radio help to drown out the voices in my head.

Thanks a lot Conrad. Now I'm going to always be sneaking up on my helmet before putting it on. My philosophies and karaoke voice are mine alone - but it does sometimes smell like burnt shrubbery in there - wait, could be my upper lip...

Rubberdown, great name, lucky lady! Rubberupanddown - they like that too! I've scoured the forum, called Murph and checked Twisted Throttle. Nothin on tin foil....I'll call Shoei and see if my old Multitec is prefoiled from the factory.

Well, all I can say is that I'm glad there are others who hear voices in their heads.

Not so fast there buddy boy. Sometimes those voices have good ideas!   :)

Sorry, Conrad, but i can only speak for myself. Trust me, no good will come of me llistening to the voices in MY head. 3 letter gov't agencies would become involved if I paid any mind to the little guys that talk to me.....

I believe that, from a business standpoint, Sony did the right thing by not releasing "The Interview" in theaters.

They had no choice.  The large movie house concerns said that they wouldn't show it.  They essentially lost their outlets unless they offer it up via DVD or streaming.  I believe that they did the wrong thing.  On a happier note, North Korea had large outages (all two routers) on their Internet access.

I believe "The Interview" was destined to be a total box office flop and relegated to 1 am showings on obscure cable channels until the NORK's breathed life into it. Now as soon as its available on Netflix or whatever, people will watch it just to spite them.

Power outage and the back-up batteries were dead.

I probably wouldn't have given it the time of day and now I have to see it.  Very clever marketing if you ask me.

Just a few points for the Norks to make note of

1. If you need a translator to get mad about something, it probably isn't that important.

2. If you tell an American that they shouldn't watch something, it virtually guarantees the will watch it.

3. Until you can build a decent automobile and/or put a man in the moon, as a country, you nneedto shut the hell up. (Make a note of that, France.)

4.  You will not be considered a real country until your citizens have unfettered acesss to vehicles that are capable of speeds in excess of 150 mph. (When some other country puts man on the moon, I'll consider using metric units of speed. Until then.....)
