    I heard my front tire sing to me for the first time yesterday when I
    was in a corner. I couldnt quite make out what song it was singing but
    it was singing softly. I think it was Take me to the river or row row
    row your goldwing gently down the stream.

    That's the optional lean alarm. Do not enter water when audible.

    I'm not sure about the Goldwings, but the Blackbird does about the
    same thing. I have to agree with Louie on this one, it's the audible
    lean alarm. When I hear it on the Blackbird, it's just "Ta...." and
    then the bike slams down on it's side and skids to a stop....

    Yeah, but if you ignore the lean alarm, due to the rigid mounted saddlebags
    you could induce unintended or premature buoyancy resulting in a very high
    rpm condition. Gas mileage will suffer. You don't want to run out of fuel
    when fording.

    It was probably the Tire's Hide hollering, being so hot, and running so
    dern fast.
    The Tire was moaning, I believe.
