Riding a motorcycle with keyboard

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone tried to ride a motorcycle with a keyboard. I've got NS2 SW73. So potentially it should be feasible.

Hi Whitenoise,

I used to do that regularly, although that was before my NS2-SW73 days. My Korg 707 was only four octaves, so much easier. I would have to think that the "tail" of the NS2 would be a little long for most bike seats if you're using the standard straps on the gig bag, but there's probably a way to strap it down if your bike is set up to accommodate it.

Bless,

Pablo

Hej herr Noise!

Sounds like a NOT very good idea to me ... being an old biker myself ... :?
Moscow traffic sounds like a great challenge in itself, and then strapping your beloved Nord to your back adds restrictions to your movements ...

Why not ask your groupies/fans to take you to gig or practice? In a much safer (?) car. :)

Hehe. Traffic could be tough in Moscow as in any other big city. It would be really handy if I could ride a bike instead of a car. Oh well. I guess that won't work. Metro is traffic free but less fancy option, lol

Yes but the Moscow metro isn't supposed to be the nicest in the world....the people palace....but it might have been changed since I was there in the 80's....

(serious) I am afraid the NS2 soft case used in "backpack mode" would interfere with the bike seat, besides being heavy so creating a risk to the bike driver stability and ability to control. ;)

PS: yes, I am a motorbiker too 8-)
