Favorite riding tunes?

#1 Unread post by Sicko »

"Born to be Wild" and "Motorcycle Mama" come immediately to mind. What are some others?

Gotta load you my mp3 player for my upcoming ride. :D

I find that my speed varies depending on what comes on the radio.

Runnin down a dream by tom petty will get me arrested one day. It'll get me taken out back and shot if it happens to be a clear summer day :D

battery by metallica always does that to me, come to think of it, just about all of the master of puppets album tries to get me thrown in jail, even i'f i'm just humming it in my helmet :twisted:

Here's a few good ones;

Take the long way home - Supertramp
Space Truckin - Deep Purple
Two lane blacktop, Demon Speeding, Dragula, Thunder Kiss 65 - Rob Zombie/White Zombie
Ace of Spades - Motorhead
I've been everywhere - Johnny Cash

Generally the louder and faster the music the better.

I like to ride with nothing except my thoughts. I don't want any more noise than is already provided by the bike and the wind.

I must admit, I'm the same as Blues, I prefer wind and engine to music.

But I do keep a Prodigy album in the car for when dealing with rush hour traffic, if that counts :wink:

I used to be like Blues and Nibblet, preferring only the sound of the bike and the wind... and the voices in my head. But ever since getting that big ol' Road Glide with the stereo I have become totally corrupted to riding with music. :oops:

Hey, roscowgo - you think Tom Petty's song will get you arrested, you should see what happens when I slip Econoline Crush into the CD player in and crank up "Sparkle And Shine". :twisted:

Throwing copper by live is just a great album to listen to while riding or working out. But obviously Wham wake me up before you gogo is great for the motorcycle riding. Used to be great for gas fights but with recent prices who can afford that anymore?

Has anyone tried this system? One of the reasons I sledom use a walkman or discman is that I can't stand the things in my ears.

This might be a good solution.
