Now I would never suggest that people ignore copyright laws and download music to MP3 devices for their listening pleasure. Especially to use whilst riding on discrete country roads where police seldom patrol.
However, bearing this in mind, I have put together a couple of playing lists that I listen to on occassion whilst giving my FZ6 a 'bit of stick' on some super windy rural blacktops down here in the Lucky Country.
I would be interested in hearing what your favourite 2 songs are and I might add them to my playlists.
Mine are:
The Wolverines - Gonna Ride All Night Long
Steppenwolf - Born to be wild.


Now for Pete's sake don't copy any songs and make a playlist called FZ6 Greatest Hits 2010.
I don't need the litigation.

If I'm in an aggressive mood, probably Rob Zombie - Dragula. If I'm in a sweet mood, probably anything by Led Zep, Nirvana or Them Crooked Vultures.

The live version of "Green Grass & High Tides" by The Outlaws. Taken from their live album "Bring It Back Alive"

Song goes for 20 minutes. On a good day you can get from Wollombi Pub to Kulnura listening to the same song all the way :thumbup:

I could go on about my riding songs but you asked for 2.

So my 2nd would be the Vines.
2 reasons.

1. Its a great song thats screams "get outta the way" in the chorus.

2. I get to post my vid :D Man I miss my little 400 :(

Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" ALWAYS makes me think I am on a track. Not good sometimes... and "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochran is another great tune for "Giving 'er the stick"

Just to be a bit different...

Marshall Tucker Band...... Can't you see?
Ozark Mountain Daredevils..Hot rod Lincoln

I LIKE loud music.....

I wear ear plug when riding due to the noise from the wind...... when I get around to spending $100+ USD on a pair of ear buds that provide enough sound isolation to make it possible to listen to tunes, I'll give it a go. I don't typically listen to anything other than the bike, when I am riding the FZ.... there is so much wind noise that it drowns out anything I would be comfortable listening to. Cranking up the volume to hear music clearly enough to enjoy it would give me a headache in less than 30 minutes. Having to futz with a volume control would just add complications that would take away from my concentration.....

Hell Yeah by Rev Theory or Before I Forget by Slipknot usually are songs of choice. A little heavy, but fast paced. They kinda get the blood pumping and make the throttle hand a little heavy :) And since my wonderful girlfriend got me an Oneal Element Blue tooth Helmet for Christmas tunes while riding are gonna be sweet :D
