Ok…had a dental appointment I rode to, then hit the road…thru Rydal, Fairmount, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge, GA, on to Murphy and Andrews, NC, thru the Nantahala Forest and River Gorge to Bryson City, NC and back. About 300 miles and 8 hours with a few stops to pee, visit Mickey D’s, and buy $60 worth of the best fudge and chocolate candy in Bryson City. But in the anticipation of the first long day in the saddle since riding to Sturgis for the rally, I FORGOT I had the Bose earbuds with me…;-)! I’m 72…cut me some slack…;-)! They were exquisite when listening to them at home, though, with great noise cancellation. Going on a Veteran’s charity ride (Zac Brown’s Veteran’s charity ride, sponsored by the MFC MC in North Georgia…) Saturday and I will try them on the road to the meetup. In the meantime, a few pics from yesterday’s ride…


The Valley of the Kudzu Monsters…Old GA Hwy 5 on the way to Ellijay…

It can be hard to comprehend sentences sometimes I suppose.
I have had the motorcycle up to 100+ miles per hour while wearing the Airpods.
I have been on trips exceeding 200 miles at a time without issue on the motorcycle while wearing the Airpods.

Better?

200+ miles without stopping for gas or the bathroom? Yes. Regularly. Sorry about your bladder, but your tank can be filled all the way up!

I recently got a pair of Olive Union, In the ear style. It has an app. for hearing test, adjustable sound and noise canceling. They were around 115 on ebay, more at their site.
https://us.oliveunion.com/
Since I just recently got the bike work finished haven't had the chance to try them on the bike yet, otherwise them seem to work well.

I see several of you all use different types of earbuds, weather they are Apple or BOSE etc, I use BOSE and they are great however just like some
and as I was checking out I saw these and to my surprise they were only $5.99 and they are nice, LOUD and cheap. So if they fly off you are only $5.99 out of pocket... Iol
