A lot of riders are now putting in earbuds and cranking their favorite iPod tunes while they ride. Although I prefer to hear the sounds of nature and cars that might whack me, I would like to know what you all are listening to when you ride. What's your top must-listen-to band or song while you're cruising around?

i'm like you laura, i'd be scared to not hear death creeping up behind me.

If I had a choice I'd be listening to blues, Chicago blues to be specific. Unfortunately, it's against the law for drivers in our state to wear headphones/ear buds while driving so, I just keep myself company by replaying songs in my head when I'm not occupied by other distractions (like death creeping up behind me).

I prefer to listen to the sound of my exhaust echoing back to me from my surroundings. I also listen for the death creeping up behind me.

I prefer the engine as my road music. Too much to watch and listen for out there.

I've thought about it once or twice, but that's all about the further I've made it. Here in SoCal is not the place to be doing it and like said above I enjoy listening to my pipes sing back to me as I pass cars, buildings, etc...

Cd's currently in my deck or saddlebag: Disturbed,Judas Priest,Godsmack,Paul Rodgers tribute to Muddy Waters & BuckCherry.

P.S. I've heard death sneaking up on me before,I prefer to let it take me by surprise from now on.

Pipes and wind.

Blues is my first choice when not riding, listening for death sneaking up really ain't appealing, too much wind noise is irritating, but good pipes?...............oh to stay alive for.

Yep......... Pipes and wind..
