Radio, Music or sound of the wind?

[Blondie Gal]

"Doo Wop" - mid to late 50's-early 60's and lots of back and forth talking to Tweety

My kind'a music, too!!

 

[adaptolife]

I listen to a symphony; the whine of the cam gears, the chatter of the valvetrain, the throaty voice of true dual headers, laughter that gets drowned out by all the above. Radio? The only thing on her that has not been modified. I have not even bothered setting any station presets! My wifes bike has shotgun straight pipes, so our intercom is a look, hand signal, or tongue stuck out.

40 Years of riding bikes i never had or wanted a radio/music, Since i bought my Tri Glide , I started to use the CD, Now i can't ride anywhere without turning it on.

When we rode the Voyager 1200s I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the music while on the road, then felt it was a distraction in traffic and had to turn it down. Those Voyagers were great - they were so comfortable, a couple of times we found ourselves almost nodding off cruising down the highway. After the Voyagers the cruisers we bought didn't have a sound system - so have enjoyed the "peace" of wind, thoughts and smells - plus you actually have to handle them, unlike the Voyagers, so no nodding off. Now we've just bought the GW trike and we haven't been on it often enough to figure out all the buttons - cold weather came in hard and early and is lingering in West Texas, dang it!

Don't have any radio or music source on my trike. But if I did, it would only have 50's & early 60's music!!!!! ThumbUp

My co-pilot and I listen to 60's on 6 XM radio. On a long ride you never have to be searching for a channel. We also talk a lot and sometimes I have to wake her up after a nice meal and the open road. Do they make seat belts for the co-pilot? Have you ever got a helmet in the back of yours stopping at a stop sign? Rod69

Wanting to keep my senses from being compromised, it's the sound of traffic noises in case it offers a head's up, the sound of the machine percolating or listening for abnormal sounds that might indicate mechanical problems.......essentially, knowing the sound of the machine, being in tune with it when it's running well or paying close attention if it's not quite up to snuff.

Only music would be a quiet road song playing inside my head......

Engine, Wind, My Thoughts..........ThumbUp

 

[pastence]

Radio unless I'm to far out for reception then mp3's

 

[rmrc51]

I know I had responded to this thread quite awhile ago when I had my Valkyrie trike. At that time, the Valk had no radio or other setup for music. Now with my (new to me) 2005 Goldwing/Roadsmith, I'm also installing a digital music player which accepts a thumb drive that'll be filled with all of my favorite 50s and early 60s music. That's what I'll be listening to in my future rides! ThumbUp

If I am solo I listen to the CD but if the wife is with me I listen to her.

 

[Bailegb]

Oldies from the 60's whether on the radio or on CD.

 

[JohnC]

Sometimes, I just like to point the trike in a direction and zone out for a while. I'll put a Pink Floyd album on and go!

 

[Southpaw]

I too, like the sound of the wind and the rumble of the pipes as I ride. I call it Road Therapy. I have a radio but seldom use it.

I never wanted the radio on my 11 T/G, But they only come with one.
One day i bought an I-pod shuffle, And my Son loaded it up with my favorite 50's and 60's songs, Plugged it in the Auxiliary and now i ride with it on all the time.
Go figure :Shrug:
