2000 songs on my itouch... some are good, some not so good for riding... but there is a variety!

The list is indeed long. I have a really hard time naming the best/favorite - since my mood dictates what I want to hear at any particular time.

I like celtic jigs and the like when running through the mountains and twisties... hardcore stuff when running full throttle... mellow stuff on the easy rolling roadways... etc.

That's the good thing about nowadays... back in the old days you would get some riff/ditty in your head and sometimes it was hard as hell to get rid of it... or you simply couldn't remember more than a few bars!

Now you can either listen in real time, or turn it off and play in your own head. Best of both worlds IMHO.

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.
