    Riding Music

    Do you listen to music before or during riding to get you in a pumped mood, when about to ride on the track, road, or in your back yard?

    If you do what and more-so, WHY?

    -> My bit, I like a bit of fast punk to get me pumped up, I love listening to music while riding, beats earplugs a million...

    Well as long as I can hear the purr of my engine still and I have a stop button close by for the twisties

    I was mentally composing a new thread on a similar vein.

    What would be the ultimate biker song? For me it has to be the classic stuff from the 70's, be it a bit corny these days. The sort of stuff that brings up images of tearing along a deserted road towards a glorious sunset, love 'em and leave 'em, gotta keep moving on, etc etc. My top three:
    1) Born to be wild (Steppenwolf)
    2) Born to run (Bruce Springstein)
    3) Bat out of hell (Meatloaf)

    Okay, I guess I'm showing my age. Any others?

    You forgot one. Though it may not be as old as those but AC~DC's Highway to hell. Or maybe even For Whome The Bell Tolls by Metallica or how about Back in The Saddle Again by Aerosmith? American Badass, Kid rock seems to be my favorite. Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is pretty good for those that like the slower stuff.

    4) Nothing Else Matters - Metallica.

    Warming up the bike is music to my ears :spudguita before I head off on a ride near or far.

    Wouldn't listen to any tunes when riding. Too distracting when I should be riding and I'd be seriously worried about hearing loss.

    Not ignoring the fact I might ignore a Red & Blue because I didn't hear them.

    haha, i wonder if my brain registered that thread in the back then lodged it away with useful information like the locations of all the speed cameras in new zealand and what my real name is, then prompted a query based on the subconcious

    I like the idea of listening to music while riding, especially if I was on a trip. I'm interested to know if it is off putting though, when you can't hear what is happening around you. ??
