Default Strange noises-UPDATE

Recently moved to an 08 RK from an 07SG. As you know the SG has a stereo and I used to listen to the music. Far as I know the 08 RK does not have a stereo\\\\\\; but, I hear mozart everytime I hit 55 miles per hour on a cruise. Not at any other speed.....WTF?I have unbolted every cover and pulled them off and still can't find the dam stereo....I want to shut it off....the mozart is causing me to go a little crazy and the next ride, I am packing. I figure when I hit 55, I will pop a cap in that little FKers a$$.Lets see if he wants to keep making that dam noise. Now, if it was rock and roll....that would be another thing....but, this dam clasical music...sheezanyone else have this problem with their 08's?
&nbsp\\;
Man this is messed up.&nbsp\\; Last night after posting this I went for a ride at 55 and brought my glock.&nbsp\\; When the little FKR started up with the Mozart, I cut loose.&nbsp\\; And he shot back and got me in my leg.&nbsp\\; Spent all day at the hospital getting patched up and talking with Doctors who wanted to know about my relationship with my mother.&nbsp\\; What the hell does that have to do with Mozart playing on my bike?&nbsp\\; Anyway, I kept my eyes opened and found a side door ajar and left.&nbsp\\; Since when did they start putting steel mesh on on the windows and locking them shut....along with the doors....musta been a bunch of VIPs in the ward...weird MFs.
&nbsp\\;
Now to find my bike with the GPS tracker.....

check your blinkers. At 55mph the design of the SG front blinkers cause a sound similar to a large orchestra but only if the srews are loose.
