Motorcycle Soundtracks - GoldOxide_imp - 03-02-2024
Feature: 2021 Moto Guzzi V85TT Tractor with a Zard exhaust can.
These sound samples were taken on the somewhat damp and salty day of March 2, 2024.
Here is the recording device used:
This is a not so new Instamic device that is basically a MEMs-based weather-resistant remote stereo microphone with wireless capabilities. I did not use it in wireless mode. If interested, more information can be had here:

This is where I placed the device:
Basically it rode behind me. I put the rather thin "wind screen" over it. It wasn't the best, but it helped a little with wind noise.
The following are links to sound samples:

Those are the sample sounds of The Tractor.
I can only imagine how the sound might be with the CB1100 opening up wide.

Good going, I have tried to capture the CB sound a few times and it is a challenge to get any half decent sound at all. These are great representations.

I totally agree with you Tev.
That is why I tried a bit harder because members in other forums are struggling.
I did some more recording today and the resultant sound quality is getting better for me. That is, less wind noise, more bass sound. Too bad I don't have an inline-4 to conveniently hop on and pop onto the freeway.
I suspect at some point I should be able to finesse a sound bite, loop it endlessly and use it for meditative purposes. (truth be, I'd probably fall asleep instantly)
