Music while riding or no?

[ktownbum]

I was just wondering.  Personally I enjoy hearing my motorcycle while zipping around.  You know, sound of the engine rev's, wind, etc.

Plus, if you have music in, can you still hear cars and motor?

I have a Sena bluetooth unit for mine and my wife's helmets. I can hear the music, the bike, and traffic around me since they have speakers, not ear buds.

Only if I'm touring for a multi day trip and usually only on straight, boring sections of road, which is almost always on my ST4 now. I haven't listened to music while on the monster for a few years now.

I tried it, it's not for me.

Most definitely. While touring on the Multi or a spirited run on the Monster, I enjoy the tunes in my ears. I prefer not to wear earbuds but built in speakers like the ones in my Schuberth helmets. It's not blaring so load I can't hear the revs but just loud enough to hear and hummm along.

what he said . . . 4 Desmo valves make very good music

[Kopfjager]

Never ever!

[Charlie98]

Music?  Blasphemy!

With the music I listen to, I'd get arrested, be administered 50,000 volts and lose my licence for a long time.

I just use the Bluetooth Scalarider to chat to the Good Lady Wife on pleasant date rides. Very civilized.

I listen to in-helmet-music when I'm dirt road riding.... only me and the wallabies to beware of...   but never, ever when riding the Monster on the road.

No.  Life on the road, as a motorcyclist, is already dangerous enough, without impeding one of your senses.

[Stuka Pilot]

Not for me either. Firstly need to be fully aware of my surroundings. Secondly the Termingonis are the best music anyway!

[krolik]

The dulcet tones of a well tuned desmo is all the music I need.

Another non music vote here.

[Wzed]

Always, and I shouldn't, more so because it's very hard on your hearing than I think it's that dangerous.
