Radio/CD use
« on: September 17, 2011, 09:53:30 AM »
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. To each his own, but I am overwhelmed by the amount of responses from people who constantly have their stereo or radio on. In my car always, but while on my bike it seems to take away from my riding experience. JMHO Thanks again. CAHDBIKER


Hi, I hope everybody is having a good riding season. I was just wondering how many people use their radio/cd/or ipod on a regular basis. My wife and I just got back from a 18 day trip and probably listened to music for about one hour total. It is nice to have and sometimes we play the CD or radio when stopped for a break, but not too much when riding. Same thing when I had my boat only used stereo when parked and taking a break. If I knew how to do a pole I would. Thanks CAHDBIKER

My radio or I-pod are on all of the time. I do ride solo, so no need to communicate with a passenger.

I have found that comedy (Cosby, Carlin, Seinfeld, Rickles) can keep me going at least another 100 miles. I love to listen to NFL Football. That way Sunday is the BEST of both worlds.

Mine is on 98% of the time, through the headsets in my helmets.  Rarely have it through the speakers, unless it's in the basement.

 Is there an off button? Lost my ability to ride without tunes many moons ago. One of the selling points for the 2006 was the new stereo and amp. Jukebox on two wheels! Burn my own MP3 disc's with about 100 songs each, about 7-8 hours worth of songs I want to hear. Never have to fuss with an I-Pod or searching for a station. All I know is the volume button, up,up,up! Crank it up and piss off the soccer moms!
 Here is the upgrade on the 2005, Thanks to Don and Soozie.........

I listen to the iPhone through the speakers.  Blue tooth through the Cardo Scala G4 works until we communicate, then it shuts off the tunes and they don't continue playing.  Haven't figured that problem out yet. 
Curvy mountain roads are about the only time I shut the music off.  I get enough stimulus just by paying attention to the road and the scenery.

There are times when the music of the road is all I need or want. Hum of the tires, beat of the motor, sights, smells and sounds of that around me is it. But, generally I'm listening to the latest mp3s I've burnt.
