Default RE: Radio - how many use it?

I'd guess I use mine about 50% of the time. Mostly when on the Interstate or in town. Usually CB and AM or FM on the Interstate; some headbangin' heavy metal CD in the traffic lights. I've found the WB to be a saver a couple time. a) kept me out of a gulley washer and b) got me away from a cookout gracefully without the need to make up an excuse. Satellite Radio? I just can't bring myself to pay a monthly fee for radio; maybe next year when I head to the left coast though. I've got a Rio MP3 player laying around here somewher. One of these days I'll find it and plug it in and give it a try. But when I hit the backroads and the mountains, I usually just listen to the bike purr and roar.

I use mine almost 100% of the time. I'll usually have one of the local country stations blaring loud. I'll usually turn it down some when I go through a residential section.

Momma loves the radio. I will be upgrading the speakers too!

Don't have the helmet sets.

I almost never use mine. Maybe it's cause this is my first Harley and I'm still in love with the sound! Don't need to hear nothin else. I've only had this bike a year1
