I have the Oakley Razr glasses and like them a lot. I use the bluetooth for days when I'm out riding and expecting calls, I can hear the phone ring and pull over to answer. I just got a chip to load music on my cell phone and will be trying that out soon.

I have a pair not really good for riding. Cant hear anything after 30MPH. Plus the controls for volume and stuff is on the arm of the frame so that is hard to get to with gloves and a helmet on.

check your local dealer, or possibly(gasp) other brand bike shop. There are a few radios that are available and affordable, unless you want a $250 pair of shades. I am not knocking oakley I own a pair or half jackets. They make great shades.

it may be cheaper that way, but can the police stop you for ear phones???

Here's a few links to JP cycles:

ironvinnie, I don't think the police will pull me. I see it as no different as a two way in your helmet. I have contemplated the ipod and docking system but I think I am going to hold out for the dragonfly batwing, this is just going to hold me over, just waiting on the funds. I really don't need another pair of oakleys. I have two pair already and love them plus a pair of coasta delmars which are over rated but I thought with the intergrated mp3 if it sounded good, no wires and could be heard would be perfect for a while.
