My riding song would be "Rebel, Rebel" by David Bowie
:Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk::Punk:

My written-off song would be:
Thnks fr th mmrs by Fall Out Boy
lol! I listened to this song about 15 times when my scooter was written off lol

So tell us yours!

[sunhuntin]

it changes so often. tonight, it was a song from a disney movie, lol. other days itll be shawn mullins, or skynyrd. many days, my jukebox is switched off, allowing my brain to delight in what i see, smell and hear.

[lanci]

Time of your life. Paul Oakenfold.

Also love most of the songs by Disturbed. Voices is a favourite.

But while riding all my music is provided by Yoshimura.

[Conquiztador]

Speed King, Deep Purple

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Do many others sing in there helmet out there??? Or is it just me???

No your not the only one :whistle: and I hear others on group rides when at lights....:rockon::woohoo: Just watch there heads and feet you will soon see .....
My riding song is....."Pour some sugar on me"... buy Def Leopard :Punk::Punk:

[Karma]

No easy way out, from the Rocky 4 Soundtrack.

Also, I've got the power, by Snap :D

[biggles1]

My favorite song that spins the wheels a bit faster is Born to Run,by Bruce Springsteen.
Guaranteed to get your motor humming as you head out on the highway.

[SVboy]

Ummm...Born to be wild....Steppenwolf. " quietly awaits knock on the door from clique police....":shutup:

[pritch]

Little Feat mainly: "Feats Don't Fail Me Now", "Let it Roll" or perhaps if in cruise mode "Willin'".

All probably more appropriate to truck driving really but when the Feat are cranked up "they make ZZ Top sound like they're stuck in second gear".:rockon:

[Rosie]

Ummm...Born to be wild....Steppenwolf. " quietly awaits knock on the door from clique police....":shutup:

I try really hard not to sing Born to be Wild when I'm riding. Great song, but it's not really appropriate when you ride like a nana on something that sounds like a chainsaw <_<
My alternative (and probably equally inappropriate) theme song at the moment is Raining Blood by Concord Dawn.

[Bend-it]

I had an MP3 player going which walking to my bike in the office carpark once and it shuffled to the Tope Gun Anthem!

Gear on, helmet on, walking purposefully to my steed, grabbed and shook the exhaust to make sure it wasn't about to fall off (you need to know the scene in the movie to know what I'm talking about), mounted and started it up... Oooh...

Ever since then, Top Gun Anthem always plays in my head when I'm walking to the bike! Haha!

Got caught singing (no mp3 player that day) Born Free top of my voice, with hand actions and all my the wife driving behind me. When we got home she asked, "What the heck were you doing waving your arms around on the bike?!?!" Haha!

[Wheeliemonsta]

I'm there with "Justsomeguy" - sounds by Yoshi RS-3

Musically speaking it would have to be Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

(Might be showin me age a bit there... :rofl: )

Cheers

Yeah..... get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway...........

[Griff]

Soothing tunes to ride with for me:
Marilyn Manson: Disposable Teens / Personal Jesus

or a Hawkwind Remix of Sliver Machine

[phoenixgtr]

"All my life" from Foo Fighters

Theres something about that song that just makes me enjoy myself even more. I only really sing it when I'm in the twistys though.

"Done, done, on to the next one,
done, I'm done and I'm onto the next one,
Yeaaaahhhhhh!!"

I don't really have a cruising song, just whatevers in my head at the time.

[Aa7]

i recently cleared my MP3 of most of the harder and faster songs while i ride in an effort to control my insanity urges as these raise up. now i mostly listen to the radio or have it on shuffle and listen to what comes up but it seems to be mainly the doors the last few days ahahahaha so much for shuffle function.

Best song prior to the recent MP3 culling was "Led Zep - Black Dog" i love that song and every time i heard it i wanted to twist the throttle open wider :rockon: "White Zombie - Black Sunshine" and "Ministry - Jesus built my hotrod" both had a similar effects. …… Aa7 trundles off to reload his MP3 player rambling all sorts of unprintable and unrecognizable mutterings:doh::brick::brick:

[90s]

Marilyn Manson ... Personal Jesus

Go the Mode!

[EJK]

I am currently singing "Forever" by Papa Roach in my helmet. Very catchy and a good song overall.

Hahaha you are truely not the only one :lol:
Sometimes I sing as loud as I can, because inside the helmet is truely my private place lol sometimes drivers behind me could see me headbanging :headbang: lol!

P.S. some drivers also could think I'm retarded :lol:

[SVboy]

How about "wardance" by Killing joke. Played to loud on your MP3 on your bike,Your frontal brain lobes will implode, your ears will leek blood and you will leave the road and wheelie down the footpath at 200plus kms,complete with a smile so wide that if exposed to the airstream, the top of your head would be torn clean off......:rockon:

[Drew]

"Turn the page"

I sing it when I'm racin, stuntin, cruisin, or any other type of ridin.

On the track it usually comes out once I've found my grove, and I'm flat out, the rest of the time it just pops into my head at random.

[idb]

'Take Me Out' by Franz Ferdinand

[tri boy]

Hehe my house alarm beeps remind me of the start of that song when I turn it on. The beeping timed the same as the guitar in the intro.

Pretty rockin track.

somthing mellow like pantera works a treat.

[Str8 Jacket]

Mine is "The jungle song"... I love the chorus when im riding at speed.... OHHHHWEEE!!!!!

[Sully60]

Back in my RGV250 days when I THOUGHT I could ride fast, LOL, it was Land of Sunshine, Faith No More, Angel Dust.

"Life to you is a dashing bold adventure, and fortune is smiling upon you":Punk:

Now it's Raining Blood by Concord Dawn off the album Uprising which is probably a far more accurate description of events in my motorcycling history in the intrim.:gob:

Can't beat Yoshi TRS on a V-Twin just have to do do the big rev on the down shifts!

[Zuki Bandit]

Horse with no name!:yes:

[peasea]

Joe Satriani, Flying in a Blue Dream

[smudge]

Killing in the Name of ... would be a pleasant enough song for a quiet cruise in the country.

[BarBender]

But while riding all my music is provided by Yoshimura.


I'm there with "Justsomeguy" - sounds by Yoshi RS-3

+ 1 (CG Yoshi Tri Oval)

Music wise at the moment ...David Bowies 'Heros' covered by the Wallflowers and 'Riders on the Storm' by The Doors

[Kickaha]

Steppenwolf-Magic Carpet ride

[pete376403]

Canned Heat - "Goin' Up The Country" or "I'm On The Road Again"

"Turn The Page" - I prefer the Jon English version, seems a bit harder/darker than Bob Segers. Are there any others?

[Renegade]

Arrrgggghhh.....so many good songs, so little time to ride!!

[Aurora]

Gallows Pole -Led Zeppelin lll Hang me...upon your face a smile. Tell me that Im free to ride, ride for many miles. For long rides, keeps the road rage down:innocent:

[Sully60]

Canned Heat - "Goin' Up The Country" or "I'm On The Road Again"

"Turn The Page" - I prefer the Jon English version, seems a bit harder/darker than Bob Segers. Are there any others?

Metallica also covered this song. Hurts your throat to sing along to compared to the Seger version. Jon English is that the Australian guy who looks like he died twenty years ago?

[BIGBOSSMAN]

The Prodigy - Firestarter
Motorhead - Iron Fist
Anne Murray - You needed me

[Joni]

"get you motor running..."
"Head out on the highway"

Steppingwolf - Born to be wild :innocent:

[judecatmad]

LOL, on our nightmare road trip to Rotovegas last Labour weekend, the only song I could sing was 'Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head'. Was an attempt on my part to deal with the pissing down rain and soaked clothing that I knew I had to wear for the next 6 hours or so.....oh, and an attempt at keeping my spirits up so that at the next stop I wouldn't go homicidal on Dave.....!!

I must admit, 'Boys of Summer' has always been a favourite sunny day, go fastly song. Be it in the car or on the bike. Not good to hear me trying to sing it tho....

[motoGP]

Tope Gun Anthem!


Yes, genius, done that a couple times too.

Otherwise I've got two pipes, which create a wonderful cacophony when you let them. Also couple that with what some call a hideous sounding dry clutch, I’ve got an orchestra beneath me.

But musically:
Reunion - funeral for a friend, brilliant piece of music. Especially the intro.

[DougB]

I dont have any favorites but I well remember my wife
singing loudly in my ear as we went over the unsealed roads of the far North in the 1960's - "Bumpty bumpty bumpty bump here comes the galoping major" I dont expect you youngsters would know the tune.
My 1950 AJS was one of the the first ln NZ with rear springing - dont know what she was on about.

[325rocket]

the cult - She Sells Sanctuary
Metallica - fuel
Jimmy Barnes / Cold Chisel Driving Wheels

[Kornholio]

'Tie me kangaroo down sport' by Rolf Harris...a true classic :D

[BarBender]

'Tie me kangaroo down sport' by Rolf Harris...a true classic :D

BBWWWHHAAAAAAA!!!!

[T.W.R]

:shutup: Many a year ago it used to be regular listing of Two River Highway (Circus of Power) or Born to Be Wild (Zodiac Mindwarp version:Punk:)

nowadays it's more mood sets :innocent: Rusty Cage (Soundgarden), The Witch (The Cult), or Peyote Dub (Salmonella Dub):rolleyes:

[98tls]

Copperhead road by steve earle or anything by 7 Mary three.

[Trudes]

Maybe someone could make a 'KB Songs To Ride To' CD with some of people's favourites that could be purchased with proceeds going to whom ever we are helping out at the moment or to Spank to cover site costs?

[kaz]

I'm on a 250cc scooter so naturally my song is....
"Even Better Than the Real Thing" by U2
:msn-wink:

[banditrider]

Don't carry a MP3 player or anything but often find a song gets stuck in ma head and gets repeated over & over again - can get a bit monotonous after the first couple of hundred k's. Also been known to tap hand on knee or handlebars, nod head like an idiot etc to whatever's "playing".

Certain songs can jump into your head depending on how you're riding: Bat out of Hell, Turn the Page etc...

[Bren]

swervedriver....girl on a motorbike

[Cave Cleaner]

Songs from the movie "Easy Rider" Just seems to put me in the riding frame of mind...

[RC1]

[bert_is_evil]

My hands are bananas

[Stella]

hehehe, my own version of part of a Queen(?) song..... Came up with this when I was wanting to get out to ride around the carpark when I was first learning but kept having to wait:

I want to ride my Mo-Tor-BIKE!!
I want to ride my BIIIIIKE!!!!
I want to ride my Mo-Tor-BIKE!!
I want to ride it where I LIIIIIKE!!!!!

Now it is my general riding anthem. All four lines, over and over and over and over and over and over :banana:

[Pancakes]

I used to work in the music industry. The companies are complete dicks when it comes to licencing and if you want to use sonds from a number of labels it's even more exciting!

[Cynos]

Every now and then I get an urge to sing Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi... it's my secret shame.
