I' ve seen few people pulling headphones out after removing their lid but isn't it safer on a bike not to listen to music?
personally i wouldn't because it would probably distract me, was just wondering on other peoples take on this?

Personally, I agree with you, but I'm sure half the site will be along shortly to tell you what to buy, how it alleviates boredom etc etc ;D ;D

Agreed with the above.... I find the road enough to think about without music.
I do
Turn it off at times when I really need to concentrate.
With a 1700 v-twin thumping under you who needs music.
Bose I prefer Akropovic
Why have music when you can listen to your bike?Originally Posted by porkies
I use earplugs when riding to reduce the noise and wouldnt want music blasting in my ears too distracting for me. Strange as I very rarely drive the car without music.
Have been known to 'sing' when riding though :-[
I can't imagine riding with headphones in.
I think I need all my senses just to stay upright
I commute 80 miles one way, 60 of it M4 unless it's summer, i use music every time, i can hear other road noise, sirens etc when i come off the Mway, but hey like most things it's personal preference and not illegal or dangerous.
I play music off my SatNav into a Scala G4 Intercom unit. It has built in sensitivity so adjusts volume according to ambient noise levels. No problem hearing the exhaust, other bikes, sirens etc etc. I don't bother with earplugs either as I have little windnoise to contend with. Horses for courses but maybe I'm rare in being a male who can multitask ;D
