Motorcycling Music

[saaz]

I haven't listened to music (as yet) while riding.  What I like is generally not conducive to sensible riding.  I like the sound of the bike and the road.  In the car I have the best sound system I have ever had, but rarely use it.

I may relent on some of the longer trips, but since I don't get bored going to the Border Run and back (5000kms roughly) in a few days it would have to be longer than that.

This might reflect on years working down the paddock for weeks on end taking in the glory of nature unhindered!

I'm much like you, Saaz. I have listened to, and enjoyed music while riding but I rarely do it.
I also prefer to watch peoples home videos of bike rides without music.. I'd rather hear the noise of the bike, engine, traffic going past, etc. Sometimes, it's better to put music on if there's too much wind noise tho.
I'm not sure whether this thread is about the music you like to listen to while riding, or the music that you like to associate with riding a motorbike (Born to be wiiiiiiiiiiiiild!).

Bat out of hell - Meatloaf.. is one that I associated with bikes. I had an extended version that I used on a video recently because I decided to liven the video up by speeding up the long riding stretches in the video and so the sound was lost.

It may not have been lost of some of you, but I am an unwavering  metal head...not sure wot gives it away, however...sometimes you see a clip that renews ones confidence in the future of true moto-muzic ...this is music...not that plastic BS stuff on commercial TV talentLESS shows

Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden

...I particularly like the political incorrectness around the 5:10 mark

Oh Roo and avamerrixmas

The singers ending vitrato after of a sustained pitched scream at 1:20... Bravo

..now I have to get on and continue my booking for Hellfest at Clisson and Sonisphere just outside Stevenage (the factory where the greatest motorcycle in Hx was built )...

just as soon as I have my cardiologist's OK in April

Ciao, the can :-)

G'day Folks,

Nice topic. The two best for me are (endorsed by my Great Dane who just slobbered on the keyboard, nice one Duke!)

Bat out of hell, Meatloaf

Born to Run Bruce Springsteen

Only problem is they make we want to drive fast which is never a good thing on double demerit points. Luckily I don't have music on the ST or I would probably not have a license!

Take Care,
Todd

I can't remember anything she did that stands out.

Nana!   Not too bad in her day, but nothing much compared to some of the really good performers of today.
I really enjoy listening to modern pop music, Rihanna, Pink, Beyonce, Adele, Katy Perry, and such, and many of Australia's new found talent. But I gotta agree with Brock, ABBA was, and still is the best ever, and what about The Eagles, and what about...........................ha ha, the list goes on!

[ST2UP]

Nana !!!!.....Hmmm Fishing is good in here.......   glad I'm practicing catch and release, some of these tuff old leatherjackets would be hard on the knife.....
