I used mine 100% of the time until I put the little itty bitty wind screen on my Roadglide. Now I can't hear it at road speed but I still listen to it in town. Going to get the HogTunes this winter so I can get some more volume.
Just got my first Harley, 2005 EG Ultra. My last ride was a Yamaha Silverado. I didn't think I'd use the radio to be honest, after never having one on any other scoots. However, I love it and use it maybe 98% of the time! The only couple of times I didn't is when I wanted to hear the engine (still breaking her in). In fact, my buddy said the exact same thing about the radio. Didn't think he'd like it, but after a quick spin he enjoyed it as well!
I have had a number of GoldWings over the years and decided I wanted to go back to having a motorcycle to enjoy as a motorcycle. I found that I was becoming more concerned with what was playing on the radio than watching what was going on around me. I decided that the bike I own now whould NOT[:'(] have a radio. If I needed another radio perhaps I should buy an MG convertable. A motorcycle needs to be ridden and the scenery around needs to be enjoyed. Plus the fact now a days you have to ride real defensive keeping your senses sharp with no destractions.
I will never have a radio on one of my bikes again.[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]
