Back when I had the Cruiser, it was Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.
These days it's "Vroooooooooom, vroooooooooom, vroooooooooom".

All others just depend on my mood at the time, really.

Speaking of riding tunes, I was using my phone as a pocket satnav with audio via the iphone headphones. They kept falling out with the wind blowing on the slack between top of my leather jacket and helmet.

What headphones do you guys use that don't fall out of your ears?

I use a LG Tone Bluetooth headset, the main band sits round your neck with the controls on and then you've got 2 normal sized earbuds on short cables that reach your ears.

£35 ebay/rainforest bluetooth headset (search for BT interphone), with the speakers mounted in the helmet. Better than earphones that fall out all the time, although not as loud.

I don't listen to music on a bike, it's pointless. When I'm concentrating on riding I don't want other distractions.

The induction noise of the Benelli is almost music anyway.

Same, Why on earth would you listen to music on a motorbike. That is like trying to eat custard and a sausage at the same time.

Boring commute? Motorway miles? You can still be fully alert while listening to music, it just makes the journey a little more pleasant for those time when the road isn't that interesting.
