    So a question for those of you that listen to music while riding. What are your favorite bands/songs to listen too? I'm just curious about everybodys playlists.

    I have a very eclectic mix in my road songs playlist of over 300 songs. Everything from Hank to Johann, even some (very limited) rap, Doo Wop, Oldies, Texas Swing, Big Band, Blue Grass, Folk, Alternative Rock, and some genres I am forgetting. Mostly 'Outlaw Country' and southern Rock though. There was a similar forum a while ago and I will try to find the link and post it here.

    two forums relating to this are

    Call me a party pooper or old stick in the mud, but I don't listen to music while riding my bike. I think music dulls the necessary senses it takes to remain totally concentrated/focused on riding. I tried singing outloud a couple of times though; 'till I got a taste of an unseasoned critter. LOL

    Peace

    The ex ol man had a mix similiar to Rex's listed above and that was great during back road travel or toolin round town but I gotta be honest, the bike was loud and the music was louder...I wore ear plugs during hwy travel (we did a lot of long distance runs 700+ miles a day) and just listened to the music in my head lol
