Spent many years riding and listening to tunes in my head and the sound of the exhaust. After a few hours of the droning, I am TOO relaxed. The change over to REAL tunes is very helpful to keep me alert.

And, nowadays, I don't always want to stay inside my own head. The combo of good music and the bike is a near perfect escape, especially when my sweetheart is sitting behind me. But, as has been mentioned, sometimes all you need is the rumble. I guess that's why they make on/off switches!

Now there is a problem with all of this... my wife likes country/western... Toby Keith, etc. I'm more Jethro Tull, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, type. So we have a mix that includes both when we ride together. For sure that will keep you awake and alert. <G>

The best music is right between my knees, and the volume control is at my right hand!  Puts a smile on my face every time!

 Gotta like Steppenwolf, Black Betty (RamBam) is a good one; Ray Wylie Hubbard is good, too; Sleep Of The Just, Three Days Straight, Red Dress, After All These Years, are just a few of his that are good; his stuff is a little more laid back though, blues type music.
Regards and such,
49Reo :)

Yep, born is a good one. It's about cars but translates well to bikes.

RamBam did the one I like back in the early '70s.
Several artists (Meatloaf, Sheryl Crow) did versions.
The next best, after RamBam, is  the one by the Aussie group Spider Bait. The electric banjo is pretty cool.

I have 3-4 versions of that one!  Did you know they have a disco version?! (not a favorite!)

Wow for me there any number of good riding tunes, depending upon how I feel. Today its Stevie Ray Vaughn... any of them.

The other day I was riding and remembering the tunes I used to listen to while riding in the 70's... then I realized all those were IN MY HEAD! We didn't have anything small enough to tote on the bike and I certainly would not have put a radio on my low rider! <LOL>

So what is YOUR favorite riding tunes?
