Music While Riding?

After I got the I Phone mounted on the bike and the charger plugged in. I have a new V-Tune helmet with built in blue tooth and it's has music playing from the time I hit the start button till I stop the bike. The only time I don't is when I'm riding with the Abilene Hot Bike Assc. Then I want to be able to the motor while cornering at high speed.

I have 3500 songs on the Phone and the only problem I have is getting in to the music when something jamming is on and notice I'm passing everything in site.

 

Is eating a sandwich wrong?

 

No tunes for me when riding. It's not that I think it's dangerous, I just prefer to be either alone with my thoughts, concentrating on riding or singing a song to myself most of the time.

 

you need all your awerness when riding listening to music you miss what your bike and the raod are telling you much less what your suroundings are telling you. To me doing that is like riding with a tinted glassvisor after dark. Yeah you can see alittle but not near as much as you should be able to operate safely.

 

commuting no music, fun rides or anytime the zumo is on the bike yes music. I use Big Ears custom earplugs with sound in them. I can easily hear zumo directions, listen to music, and still hear horns, screeching tires, train horns. I think I hear more with the earplugs in than I do when I don't wear them. Wind noise is worse than music to me. Plus it can make boring slab riding less painful.

 

Its not your helmet brother, these bikes use us as part of the aerodynamics I think. No helmet is quiet for us just way too much wind.
I tried the earplugs.... it was paranoid mode for me... I guess I would rather hear the loud wind then miss hearing the sirens chasing me and get arrested for evading ( joking of course ).

I second the "what" comment :thumbsup:

 

wish I had the balls.

I rarely listen to music anymore.... I dont have the time.
If I thought it was a good idea for me, I would love to listen to some slayer on my bike...only mentioning the band name cause its fast music, like my bike.
As a newer rider, I think it might take my focus off the road so I don't listen to music.... even thoagh I got lots of technology that would allow it.
I am gonna vote on the no music part. But thats just for me.
Ride your own ride :thumbsup:

 

Use music to cut down the wind noise on the free way.

 

I do one of the following, depending on my mood and the circumstances:

• Listen to music or talk radio on long stretches of slab.
• Concentrate totally on not being killed by cagers when in traffic or congested areas.
• Ride in silence planning the death of my enemies.

 

Totally unrelated, but thanks to you I know I can use an animated avatar!
I am not joking.... been thinking about making one all week, but damn its a lot of work. Didnt want to spend the time just to find out it wasn't supported here.

Even tho its unrelated, hot damn, thank you!

 

I always listen to music with 2 ear buds . Funny thing is since Ive gotten this wonderful motorcycle last week . I have not yet put on any music . Due to the beautiful sound of the V4 . This is my first VFR & Im in love ....... Im sure to ride with music again . But not yet , Im enjoying the music this VFR plays ....................

 

I wear earplugs all the time no matter how short or how long the ride is. On short hops I listen to the radio on the Scala Q2, if I am going for a longer day ride then I will plug in my MP3 player and if I am going on a trip then the GPS (via bluetooth to the Scala) is my music box. That way I can listen to the music and the silly bitch telling me to do a U-turn on the highway work together.

 

I listen to either my satellite radio or my Q2 FM radio while riding. After all, music has charms to soothe the savage breast!:guitar::music::rockon:
