Tempo, the very word that dictates your rate or pace.

Music = Tempo = Songs = Riding = Tempo

For me, the songs that would best suit my riding tempo would be..

In general, to be honest...Fleetwood Mac 'Go your own way'

Yeah very much a mood thing and what roads you maybe riding... but really I have to say I have only ever listened to music once while riding... not for me.
I have good company when riding, the three of us get on well in my head :shutup:

That one's too slow for me.

Something more like this is the tempo i like...

Its all about Tempo, not listening to music while you ride.

Some may even ride to this Tempo..

In a good calm pace, this is my song.

Shifting the ass outta the corners :shifty:
Any good hard metal with manly yelling - none of that screamo crap.
Rammstein is a good example.

Oh yeah i love the drumming track Mick lays down on this song.

But riding tempo would have to depend on the situation i'm riding at the time.

Taking Mac's greatest hits into account,if you were to say cruising with mates,would it be... As Long as you follow.
In the twisties...Don't Stop
Down the pub talk'n shite...Little Lies.
Harley riders not waving...Go your own way.
Thrown in jail for speeding...Big Love.

Oh sorry, this is about riding bikes, I thought when it said riding tempo it meant...you know.....horizontal jogging and the like....

Sorry......

Long long time ago when I was chasing Maha (on Sunday I think, up to walkworth) I was listening to 5000 Powerman - When Worlds Collide and it felt quite right. Can't describe how but it was cool. Except when the FXR150 couldn't overtake cars going uphill...

I don't normally listen to these type of music but just this one seemed cool. Some of you guys should try it. Singing out loud makes you feel the bike go 10% faster.

Pendulum - The Tempest

I like this. Starts slow but finishes strongly. Just like I do when I'm riding. Can be somewhat speed ticket inducing though towards the end.

As am I ma good man, they just confirmed their ONLY nz show for 19th Dec & it's across the road from my place :sunny:

I can't have music playing, no point as the bike would drown it out :laugh:

On top of that I am partially deaf in one ear & habe tinitus in the pair of them so don't think having music playing on top of the rest of the racket is gunna help any :blink:
