Default Pipes or stereo?
Which do you prefer more the sound of your stereo ? Or do you prefer the sound of your pipes? If I had to choose it would definately be the stereo.

I love my music, but there's a time and a place for it...for me. I just don't have any need for it while I'm riding.

Both. The V&H True Duals are throaty and deep when I get on 'em, but my stereo can drown them out whenever I crank up the volume.

Both. But if I had to make a choice it would be tunes. I have V&H Classics & turn down tips, plenty loud but not enough to drown out the music. The best of both worlds.
