Radio, Music or sound of the wind?

[BlueTrinity]

DON'T GET ME STARTED ON CELL PHONES AND DRIVING/RIDING. I am one of those guys that pulls over when using the phone. Or I answer and tell them I'll call back.

I do likewise Ted, except for that answering part. That's what my voice mail is for.

I'm a newspaper publisher and I am incensed each time I have to run the sad story of someone that was killed by someone texting or otherwise distracted by the use of their cell phone. Those occasions have been far too frequent in the past couple of years.

I have proposed to legislators that cell phone use while driving, be elevated to the same offense level as DUI. I think that the offender should face the same penalties for a first offense and include the same opportunities for redemption through ARD, but full revocation of licenses for subsequent offenses.

Some will say that is too extreme, but I would argue that cell texting is both just as addictive and just as dangerous as alcohol use, particularly for teens and young adults.

If it keeps you from doing the job of driving with your full attention, you should not ought to be doing it.

I love the variety. Cruising in good weather I love the wind and sounds around me. In cold weather I would rather shut the shield and either run without anything or a little music.

The one thing I can't stand is a fullface helmet, with speakers on my ears and wind shields around my neck so I am completely closed in without any other sound making it to my ears. I've got a car for that.

Mainly, if my butt's on the seat, my hands are on the bars, my eyes are on the road then my spirit is alive! Don't really nead anything else.

It's funny! The only time that I listen to music is on my Trike

 

[Alan Oakley]

Riding Solo.......Either my ipod (through the Trike's speakers) or XM. Everything from the Beach Boys to ZZ Top. Long rides or short, if I am solo I am listening to the music.

 

[triwinggirl]

Gotta have that MPS player

:yay::yay::yay:

Most of my one-up riding is done to a combo of music and listening to the wind. I'd say about 50/50 split. But when my wife's aboard we commune with nature.

 

[skuuter]

I'm a "Listen to the Engine" Guy......Music distracts me.....

 

[spiritdream]

Wind, traffic, and my own thoughts....I have no choice!

Since I could'nt find a decent place to mount my 8 Track, I like the sounds of nature & the blowing of the wind!!!!!!

Loud Heavy Metal

John's a big fan of smooth jazz, swing & blues. I prefer 60s and 70s R&B, so I have a volume control on our MP3 player that he has on max!

 

[trikes4ever]

My Vance & Hines 2-2 Sweepers, but that's not in the survey. Have always had stereos on my trikes - but never had a Harley engine to listen to until now. Don't need a stereo any more - Harleys are music to my ears.

 

[trikes4ever]

Riding is like therapy to me and I dont want to interupt my therapy

Gotta say I agree with that completely.

 

[Frozenshrimp]

Wind and trafic no radio and the gps is muted

MY kind of guy

 

[Greydog]

John Fogarty's album, Blue Moon Swamp. Virtually every song on it is good for a speeding ticket.......especially Hot Rod Heart!!!! Just depends on my mood whether the music is on or not....sometimes I play it real loud in town just to keep the old folks on their toes when crossing the street!! :yes:

Now thats some good music:yes:

My bride likes CW. My channel changing switches get a good workout each ride.
I'll be listening to a good old P Floyd song and there she goes changing the channel again. I think she is in love with K Chesney

Need to bring her to Key West when he's home. He likes to do un announced sit ins when he is in town.
