I don't ride with music. Never had the urge. I love listening to the bike.

For me its a distraction. Riding allows me to think, relax and clear my head. Besides that, I love the sound of the motor/pipes/bike and most of the other noise that comes with riding.

I'll put the earbuds in only if I am going to be on the superslab for more than an hour.

Between the bike and music it relax's me. it's a way to shut my mind down. if not it would be going 2000 miles an hour.

was excited as hell when I finally got a bike that had a stereo. funny thing was, a few months later, I didn't use the radio anymore. takes something away from riding for me.

I have an extreme cycle radio. I got it in sturgis. There are 3 inch chrome speakers. Has a radio, an sd slot, a usb slot ( for a usb jump drive)an aux port with cord to plug into anythings standard headphone slot. I love it. We got 2 one for my then sporty ( moved to deluxe ) and one for my hubby's road king. My hardwear is in the my windshield bag hubby's is in his right saddlebag.

I have a bunch of music on a SD card as MP3's. I can hear it even over wind noise with a full face.

I do and if I am in an area that I feel like I need more "outside" sound all I have to do is turn down or turn off my music
