Cruising music

[Indiana_Jones]

What's your favourite song or piece of music to cruise your bike to, or what would u choose?

I'd have:

Live - Lighting Crashes
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer
Simple Mind - Don't you forget about me

and maybe "take my breath away" classic 80's crap

-Indy

[Magua]

The Datsuns - In Love.
Actually most of my Datsuns cd.

Only one choice for me - When Doves Cry.... Prince, off Purple Rain 1984.

Best dance/techno/trance/house titles that love!

The sweet, sweet music of open headers would suffice.

Surely music pumping through earphones under a helmet would rather distract one from the usual task at hand, namely not running into a tree or getting squished.

Indeed.
But rather than open headers, I think a tuned race zorst at about 10k rpm would be better (although the V-twin sounds nice on closed-throttle deceleration...)

Very right! I have tried it before and I just ended up riding way too aggressively and my emotions where all over the place because of the music. I guess it would be nice to have music when cruising for long distances at 110 on the motorway though...

Mmmmm V twin deceleration

Wouldn't that be open header on a fxr150?

I guess some music would help filter out the screams of pedestrians on my typical commute.

I really must try that some time.

what ever i have just been listening to i suppose. but i find that after listening to punk/rock or anything that gets you energised i tend to ride a bit "different" But then agin when i have been listening to something softer.....

Sometimes I forget I'm on a motorbike, not a bicycle.

Nearly rode up on the footpath around traffic the other day.

haven't ridden the cbr down any stairs yet though.

I think I need a supermotard for commuting.

Along the footpath?

I made a pedestrian scream one time. Quite worrying it was, but a bystander said, "Nah- she must be alright; she's making enough noise!"

[Mr Skid]

Along the footpath?

Well not quite, but I am developing a habit of sneaking up on the more brainless ones who cross roads without looking..
