    I find I tune it out when I'm focussing on something else, or, there's a pause button.

    But when you get a good track, with a good bit of road...

    I'm sure there are a myriad of reasons, most probably typical mistakes, as to how and why they mishandled funds before hitting production.

    Each to their own. The drone of constant revs on the straights (which there are more and more of as they iron out all all the fun parts of the roading network) doesn't do anything for me sadly.

    Maybe on shorter trips or if you are one of those people that stop for breaks all the time it's better, but we're all different either way.

As I said, riding is a great time not to be bothered by anyone or anything
    You should get a Samsung phone because it is SHIT at connecting via bluetooth. And 22 mo on the contract.

    I don't do music while riding either.

    Hehehe. My Motorola is good but develops mysterious fade-outs when it's my wife wanting to talk while I'm out riding .

    Cool

    Given hour each way commuting I hardly listen to music. This is why I leave my stock exhaust alone I don't like loud bikes. I dream of a quieter helmet also. The ride generally is the experience and I want all of it. Having said that there is the odd stage I get into some music mostly it seems in summer once it has warmed up. Most of the people I know who listen to it all the time ride noisy bikes (go figure perhaps they just like noise in general).

    As for Skully they spent there seed money on more interesting things that annoying additional distractions (reverse camera -- please).

    R&D or hookers and blow... tough one. Owww I crashed by Dodge Viper, oh well I'll just buy another one.

    I've some skully alternative ideas. What to know what speed you are doing without having to look way down? Don't buy the kind of bike with the speedo on the tank (unless it is a real classic then look down). Want to see what is behind you? Don't use tiny little mirrors that look cool and don't work. I think you know what I'm saying
