I thought about adding my XM to my bike, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I enjoy the tune of the engine.

Ive never tried it, but I guess riding down some country roads or an empty highway would be a fine time to put on some tunes. But I dunno if its a good idea for riding around town because you really should be listening for horns, sirens, etc.

I can definitely imagine rolling down some country road listening to some Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, Zeppelin, or any other blues rock. Id feel like a bad am-fm.

The birds singing and the pipes rumbling.

3 -5 a.m. on a service road along the Long Island Expressway. Pretty deserted so I had to listen to some tunes since my parallel twin is too smooth to put out a good sound.

Cake - Long Line of Cars
Cake - Never there
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Then some 3 Doors Down and Kasabian.

The music works well with the painted lines while doing 40 - 55 mph.


Then along comes a Goldwing with a speaker system that's not too loud but loud enough for both of us to hear.

music from Social Distortion, Tiger Army, Sublime or some good ol Rockabilly!

Only ever did once, and I forget what specifically was on it. But I know it was high tempo techno. Other music that generallt inspires speed is best left to the truck for me. Though, I do have a tendancy to sing inside my helmet, good thing it's a full face.

I don't listen to music on the bike...if I did it'd be stuff like....
Megadeth - "99 Ways to Die"
Rob Zombie - "Thunder Kiss '65"
Anything Metallica or Black Label Society
Ozzy.

Just before I crashed I was singing something at the top of my lungs... I just can't remember what it was.

I really want to say that it was "Hey Joe" by Hendrix, but I know that's not it.

"Crawling Through the Wreckage" by Dave Edmonds maybe? "Leader of the Pack"?

Sorry to hear you were in an accident - hope you're all okay.
