You needed an option "sometimes"

Never heard of any of them. But congrats on the new wheel. Sounds like it's got even more gizmos than a BMW!

Man I remember listening to Bride about 14 years ago, I started going to church because of this girl I liked and eventually made a whole heep of mates there, but then the devil has his way with me, so now my kind of riding music is MetallicA (Of course!), System Of A Down, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Black Label Society, Napalm Death etc etc etc this list goes on and on......

But to be honest, I've been riding around for about 3 weeks listening to my mates Ipod and I find that it mutes (no pun intended) my riding experience...I'm not too sure if I'll carry on riding with music, like a lot of people here say, the music comes from the pipes and the roar of the engine.

all good music and no crap music :P, so many bands its hard to say, iron maiden gnr megadeth acdc led zep etc, stuff like weezer coldplay sublime etc doesnt go a miss, anything thats good, and u know whats good ^_^

edit: oh, worth a mention, Stereophonics new album rules , and weezers new one is pretty damn sweet too( from what ive heard so far, listening to it now, before i have to go to crappy waste of time jury service roll call ...*yawn*

No need - I have music playing inside my head, most of the time. SOmetimes it's something really annoying, or an advertising jingle, and then the voices in my head get really grumpy-sounding.

I usually listen to the internal radio as well.
If its a long straight road. (i.e. the road which goes across the plains coming into kopu) I sometimes just invent a song.
When you're going quickly on some familair roads I don't think there's much that could beat the sound of a piped V-twin.

Similar thread still running:http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11829

The thing I find is that un less you can spend quite a bit of time on here the threads can Disappear quite quickly so you start one that you haven't seen and then get msg's saying already done!!

Anyway this one is here now so my answer is:-

I don't listen to anything except the sound of my bike wich is music enough
and the sound of other bikes as I pass them he he he

Have fun all

Playing favourite 1st person racing or shoot-um-up game then riding is fun, but not recommended during rush hour

I know - I'm with you on that one. Just pointing it out as a source of reference.

Used to listen to music when going for a ride to destress but after a few dubious cornering efforts I realise its just too distratcing!

A bit of music before hand is nice but if its something like P.O.D or Foo Fighters, I need to have a few deep breaths before pulling out or I tend to get a bit too vigourous on the road!
