Music while riding or no?

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.

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.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

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.

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

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

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