Read at least 2 articles in Sportbike mags of late where the journo refers to wearing his i-pod while riding. Is this legal? I quite fancy it on those 'getting from A to B runs'
Not sure tbhbut a kid from uni rides with his on. He does ride an aprillia twin with race exhaust though
My mate always has his on to work and back. I found it had quite an influence on my riding. All calm, then bang!! Prodigy and your a race rep!! Look down and speeding in a big way. Not fitted my Starcom intercom to my Daytona. Just concentrate and enjoy the exhaust and ride.
Dunno bout this one, driving the jamjar with loud music doesnt bother so why would it make any difference riding with earphones? I suppose it shouldnt but maybe its just the idea of putting something in your ears thats gonna block out noise, I mean i dont even put ear plugs in to protect my hearing. I just ride to the sound of the wind and the engine, and thats the way i am most comfortable with. That way I can hear everything
If you can still hear a reasonable amount of what's going on i.e. car horns etc you should be OK. As steffy says you just have to watch what affect music has on your riding style. It's not illegal AFAIK. As for earplugs, I've worn them since I swapped the standard exhaust on my last bike. When I started riding with them I just found it more calming and allowed me to concentrate more on riding. They don't mute the outside world, just turn the volume down a bit.
I found this, i'm pretty sure it will apply to bikes http://www.safermotoring.co.uk/using-ip ... iving.html
A bit of time in the pokey is worth it if I can listen to the best of Ace of Bass on the way to work!
If smack my b1tch up, doesn't get you in the grr, take on the world mode, then I suggest you check you still have a pulse. I'm a quiet guy, but when it's on. . . Hehe. Think ill put it on now, see how I sleep!!
I wear ear plugs and i swap these for earphones when I ride on my own. I cant see how it could be any worse than the cruise guys using distorted bass to push the car down the road. as for tunes, i dont have a favourite/ultimate but i have found some tunes that I cant ride to. these are tunes that i love buy being on the bike with them means i would loose my license. DJ shadow's Blood on the motorway. Which would most likey end up as a description. in fact the majority of the album private press is great to drive to, if you can monitor the speed.
Anything by Muse used to make me drive faster and faster in the car - would be proper carnage on the bike !
Tonaincov Good choices!!! but more mushroom people on the system side. I have admit a bit of prodigy Tracks: No good start the dance Voodoo people anything on invaders must die Dizzee Rascal: Road rage And if you have got it the bonus cd on tounge in cheek Pissing Razors: Youll never know Foo fighters too many too mention Outkast: Trip hop rock Bombs over bagdad And quite a few others but cant remember the names of Marilyn Manson: Anticrist Superstar album Korn: Well one hell of alot mainly there self entitled album.
