Who listens to music when they ride??

NO MUSIC FOR YOU!!!!!!!! :tongue:

too many :ranger:

 

NANAIPOOPOO!!! Jeez, read your own threads you sound like a really annoying junior high student. You really need to get a life, John.

 

I listen to music on the open road, that is about it. Need 100% of my hearing in the city. Need some new noise-cancelling headphones though.

 

I like music when I ride, but not skydiving or scuba diving. That sounds really scary to me.

 

Ouch, wow such an intense thread. Well I primarily ride on backroads in Pa and when I do that I do listen to music via my Shure Headphones at a lower volume. I can easily hear my exhaust over the music and I can hear horns and some wind noise. I do not listen to music if I'm commuting through a high volume of intersections or riding in a city type setting.

 

You know as you get older your parents start to tell you things that you can't believe come out of their mouths. The other day my Dad told me that he had spent alot of time trying to protect me by telling me to not do this, or don't do that, and that I was never a good listener when he did. He concluded by saying the most amazing thing I think he has ever said to me - I have regrets that I didn't do a few things in my life that I am too old to do now, where as with you, you've done everything you ever wanted to do without fear of what the potential ramifications of those actions might be, someday you will be lying on your death bed with absolutely no regrets thinking there was something you should have done in your life that you never did. Unlike me. I thought that was a pretty cool way to sum it up, you can't live life doing things the way other people think you should.

 

I don't listen to music while riding. It interferes with my cell texting. :smash:

 

I would politely ask if he had happened to put me in his will, and if so, what was I getting.

 

10 years ago, sent away for a set of "Bass Monsters" (aka "Bass Blasters"). Found them in the back of motorcycle magazines for about $100. They are speakers, not headphones, designed to go inside your helmet. They sound great and allow noises around you to be heard. They are way more comfortable than earphones and stay in place when you're putting your helmet on.

Further, I use a wired remote with the iPod to be able to easily make adjustments when appropriate.

I use tunes on long trips only and at a level so I can hear what's going on around me. Being reasonable seems to be working - 25 years of riding with no street spills, knock on head. These things really make those long highway stretches more bearable.

 

You know it makes sense!



You'll look cool, it will sound great a n d cars will hear you coming... Will be standard on the Gen 7 in '09

 

If loud pipes save lives, this is really something to look into!

 

Ok! All this was going on and know one called me! How rude, I completely missed it. :shocked:

I love this place.
