Who listens to music while they ride?

[crystalball]

i have helmet headphones that sit in my helm all the time with velcro, put my helm on and plug cord into my ipod, have a playlist i like and away i go, everyday to work and weekends where ever. i never ride without music. I have to invest soon in a better system where i can have the volume load if i want, as at the moment its to quiet. I would make it so i can hear sirens tho. anyone know off a good system for helmets?

Nah but if you see a VL250 with L plates & the rider's screaming his head off, it's probably me ...

I love listening to music, only problem is though that the louder and faster/heavier the music, the more that throttle gets twisted.....not good really in the long run. It does take the bore out of commuting thought!

A bit of Bob Marley ought to do the trick.

I do occasionally when its sunny and I feel like it, but most of the time for commuting and for road trips I prefer to be able to hear other things and my thoughts. Also, my headphones arn't that good under the helmet 'cos they hurt a bit after a while and it's a pain getting my helmet off over them.

Seconded, though I'm wearing ear plugs now.. but still can hear the engine luckily. The dual parallel's really set the standard don't they

Yeah, it's nice to hear your bike and the road when you're riding. Even though my bike is just a 250 i still love to hear the sound it makes.

for the first hour, no music. get me into the groove. after that, depends on the mood and focus. i ride with plugs most of the time, as straight pipes on the triple tend to be LOUD. in the bendy stuff, no sounds. im too busy working and having fun. boring straight rides, i listen to music, mainly to kee the spped down, but then i gotta be careful about what im listening too. if i listened to what i usually do, then im good for an extra 35kph. mellow is the go

There's a big difference between listening to a radio and sticking two radios in your ears.

I couldn't imagine anything more distracting.
