But you know, I am not beyond doing something like that. And, if I anticipate there might be a chance, I'd make sure there was a camera to not only capture me, but my captive audience as well. In this neck of the woods, they really would be wide eyed with their jaws open.

My first Harley was a 1989 FLHTC and it took me about three days to figure out that as I sped up the volume would increase and as I slowed down it would decrease...
The 02 Ultra did it as does the 2011 road glide ultra.
Oh, by the way anyone know the song ''I dont know whay I swallowed a fly " ?
Happened to me once or twice while rolling through wild Rose Country this past Summer.

Do you tap with all 10 toes while stopped at a light or just 5?

I listen to music or traffic reports on long rides, but I don't tap. I used to turn it down when I stopped, but the Ultra I have now automatically does it for me. No, I don't tap, shake, nod head or whatever to the music. If someone wants to do that more power to ya, it's just not my thing.
