Ready to take off on a 2000 mile tour of WA, ID, and some of Canada. Thinking of a playlist for the iPod. What's your suggestion for a great song that goes well with riding on the Uly? I'll start with "Born to be Wild". | ||
| Sharkguy |
Ok, I'll play. Melissa by the Allman Bros. | ||
| Schwara |
Nickelback ... I can list specifics if you want but there are quite a few that are god riding songs | ||
| Schwara |
... sorry ... I obviously meant "good riding songs" | ||
| Schwara |
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi. I just thought the song was OK until I saw Mickey Rourke riding to it in Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Now it makes me think of beautiful cross country riding every time. | ||
| Skifastbadly |
Even though it's my own thread, I'll add in the Grateful Dead's "Truckin" | ||
| H2opatrol |
Ted Nugent-stranglehold always gets me pumped haha | ||

One has to be carefull listing and getting too wound up. You could end up in a ditch! What kind of speakers do you use? | ||
| Skifastbadly |
I use the Etymotic 6i. Great sound insulation and decent audio. And you're right about getting wound up, I was going down a gravel road one day and Harry Nilsson's "Jump In To The Fire" came on.... | ||

I'm big Clapton fan. Here's one of my favorite songs. | ||
| Skifastbadly |
Good stuff Johnboy. I think you'll like this one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcTOoOlr288 | ||

Shinedown ~ Sound of Madness | ||

One Way Out - Allmon Brothers Band This one starts out slow and builds, I always catch myself around 98mph sheesh! I didn't know the Etymotic would work inside a Helmet. I use the Westones, great so far. Getting a good seal is important. After my last 3000 mile romp I was thinking to myself, what were the 3 most important mods to the bike I wouldn't want to do without (excluding good seat) Mp3 player (mine is built into GPS) Madstad adj. windshield system Throttlemeister | ||

I use the Etymotic 6i and they work good for noise and you don't have to crank up the volume to hear the music. The cords are kind of long and will reach the pipes if you don't put them in a safe place when gassing up. I've been using one ear for a while with a standard plug in the other.  | ||
| Uly_man |
It might just be me but have you ever thought about the sweet noise a Uly can make. | ||
| Nose2wind |
Mine doesn't make much noise (other than wind) on the slab droning at 75. I use the music to combat boredom on the long stretches of slab. Can be fun in the twistys too, but like the revs too. I can always turn the music off (often do). I can also hear the GPS commands without looking down so much. | ||
| Schwara |
Around town and for day to day riding I just listen to the Uly. For cross country (or more than 100 miles) I have my phone GPS lady bossing me around and music playing in between just to keep me sane. Once I'm within 30-45 minutes of the final destination I'll generally pack the phone & hands free headset away just to enjoy the road and the bike once again. I just need a good way to keep the activate / deactivate button on the headset handy, but not flapping in the wind ... I only want it turning off when I turn it off myself. | ||
