I'm glad HD offers music in some of their bikes, but I prefer the purr of my pipes as I cruise along the mountain bakcroads. There's live music at the whistlestops, and when I get home I can hear the artist pulling on the strings right down to 25 mhz. through my Paradigms. Even my kids wince when they hear car stereos, they know there'sno comparison to a high-end stereo setup. If I did a lot more long-haul riding, say X-country, definitely one of the detachable-stereo setups would be an add-on, probably a Harmon-Kardon head unit and some of the smaller Paradigm outdoor speakers. Expensive, but you always get what you pay for.
You should have plenty of room left on theCD for Marshall Tucker, The Allman Brothers and The Outlaws. Nothing like cruisin' to them. I always find that the bike speeds up consideraly when Van Halen comes through the speakers. Funny[sm=confused06.gif]
I have this throttle issue as well. Especially with Panama.
