• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Favorite Music

Lots of 70's stuff ... Jethro Tull, Janis Joplin, Stones, Led Zep, Guns'n'Roses.... in the absence of loud pipes, loud music shall suffice!!
 
My MP3 has stuff from Kid Rock, Led Zeppelin, Kongos, Johnny Cash, Metallica, Roy Clark, Saliva, KC and the Sunshine Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ohio Players, Simple Minds, AC/DC, Collective Soul, Beat Farmers, Rob Zombie, Guess Who, Devo, GRiZ, Prince, Marilyn Manson, Queen, and about seventy other artists spanning the '60s to today. If it makes me want to tap my toe, bop my head, or twist my wrist, it's all good...
 
Got tired of changing CD's about 5 years ago at Christmas for background music, so finally dove into the deep end and built a music storage and playback computer.Small form Dell, 1TB drive, dB Poweramp rip and conversion software and JRiver for playback.
Love jazz and blues, grew up on Rush, KISS, Van Halen, etc. so have a lot of rock. Elvis, Grass Roots, Johnny Mathis 60's and 70's stuff. Classical, Bach, Beethoven. A couple thousand country songs. And about 8 hours of Christmas classics. A little over 11,000 songs and growing.
All in lossless FLAC, I convert to Apple Lossless to load on the iPhone and playback in my helmet on the Spyder.
I still have a German Dual turntable, but don't spin vinyl often. I got really lazy controlling the music from a tablet.
Home system is a 70's Kenwood, completely gone over, recapped and noisy transistors replaced. Klipsch loudspeakers. And a Maverick Audio tube DAC with an NOS Tesla tube from Czech Republic, and Dexa discrete op-amps. Sennheiser headphones. Sounds like a lot of equipment, but it's just a hobby for me. Audiophiles use me to laugh at. But I can play at concert volumes, and the Klipsch move enough air to lift the pictures hanging on the wall off the nails. If I crank it to 10 the sun dims.
 
I dunno bout all this stuff?!? :dontknow: The only 'music' I listen to while ryding is the one that I adjust the volume on by how far/hard I twist my right wrist!! :shocked:

And when I'm out cruising, I listen to the Song of the Road, the tires on the bitumen, the engine purring along, and everything else going on around me as we cruise on by! And of course, the dulcet sounds of my Missus' saying 'Do we hafta stop yet?!' Best music EVER!! :ohyea: :yes:
 
Being the non-conformist my playlist consists of older country (Alabama, Sawyer Brown, Shenandoah, BlackHawk...), Canadian Country (Paul Brandt, High Valley, Dallas Smith,...) and some Contemporary Christian. I like to be able to understand the words, but that’s just me.
 
This has always been one of my favorite riding albums. Makes me want to go faster..LOL

Eh.

This song is more applicable when I'm on two-wheels.

IMO, riding our Spyder is more sedate and lackadaisical, and not as dangerous. That said, I'm more inclined to listen to songs such as Allman Brother's "Midnight Rider" or Bob Seger's "Turn The Page".

And my Two Brothers Racing exhaust, LOL.

YMMV....
 
Words are not always necessary - Synergy, Tangerine Dream, Hyper, Glitch Mob, Automatica, The Animusic Soundtracks. Kitaro, 2 Cellos and Lindsey Stirling for less electronic sounds.

Understanding the words isn't always necessary for me - Show-ya and Band Maid are Japanese bands I like.

Leo Moracchioli does some interesting "heavy metal" versions of popular songs.

Symphonic Rock/Metal - Edenbrige, Magenta, Nightwish...

In other music I go from 50's do-wop to current emo/goth rock. Some of my current favorites are Birthday Massacre, Ghost and Apocalypse Orchestra.

I don't believe in forcing others to listen to my music so I never use the system on the tryke. I run everything from my Note 9 to a Cardo Freecom 2 in the helmet.
 
We use the radio very little. Most of our "road noise" is communication between bikes. I keep Linda informed about road conditions ahead.
 
How do those of you who posted youtube links watch the videos while you ride? Are you able to watch them on the BRP screen? :roflblack::roflblack:
 
I use my USB stick almost full time, Very little radio. Artists include Moody Blues, Sade, CCR, George Thourgood, Phil Collins, Harry Chapin,
America, Aerosmith, BeeGees, CSN, Don Henley, Eagkes, Rod Stewart, Simon and Garfunkle, Toto, and an assortment of others. Nothing like
listening clearly at highway speed, thanks to my 2017 F3L.

Interesting...I think I'll at least check into adding a Tangerine Dream playlist...I've listened to them in the past.
 
I'm mostly into classic rock/60's/70's, so have Pandora stations set up for Stones, Who, Zeppelin, CCR (and all their contemporaries) in main rotation...but also stuff like Talking Heads, Clash, Ramones , B-52's, Bowie for those 'up-tempo' rydes ;) Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead also, but less frequently...not 'ryding' music for me.
This is all thru the Sena when ryding solo...2-up I'm generally on intercom with the missus.

A fellow symphonic metal fan. Love me some Night Wish and Within Temptation, Avantasia, and more.
