i hope none of you maxxers ride with a mp3 player or other crap while your riding, or do you?

 

[maxcruiser]

The only music I like to listen to is the sound of the Kerker 4-2-1 with Scorpion carbon can when accelerating - nothing beats it imo

i rode with a friend of mine a while back with a gps, we spent more time ******* with the gps then we did riding. never again, i just want to go.

 

[Hatter]

I don't have a MP3 player, but if I ever find a Goldwing CB I can steal real cheap, it's MINE!

 

[gleno]

No way.

I listen to the Max.

I am the machine.

MP3 player:ummm: Thats old school I have a mini dvd player on my handlebars and watch porn as I am hammering down:rofl_200:

I listen to music while I ride.
I was using an mp3 player, but the earphones kept falling out of my ears after putting on my helmet.
So I bought the Cardo Q2 Scala Rider. It doesn't play mp3 but it does have am/fm stereo.
I know the naysayers are going to bust my balls and tell me how dangerous it is and how stupid I am because it's a distraction.
But I'm the opposite, If I don't have music playing I get bored and my mind wonders and goes into deep thoughts about everything except riding. And for ME, that's more of a distraction from riding.
Plus when I'm listening to music I am relaxed and patient and tend not to ride after and have altercations with stupid cagers.

So spare me the lectures.

if you start getting bored just down shift and crack the throttle, works every time.

A friend of mine put these guy's setup on his bike, he loves it. its a little heavy on the price, but he also removes it and puts it on his quad for off-roading as well.

I actually considered those. LOL!
When I first got my Max I looked all over at weatherproof speakers and was seriously looking at mounting some.
The problem was I could not find anything that I was happy with as far as looking decent on the MAX.
Guess I'll just have to wait till the technology improves and I can get some good kickers the size of headset speakers.

Don't listen to music now, but plan on a pair of small speakers
that fit in my helmet that I found in Whitehorse gear. Sorry I
love music and I don't jam it to ear bleed levels. Heck half the
guys I hear cruising have pipes that would overpower my
bike and speakers.
Rock on

 

[2stangs69-91]

I listen to my MP3 at times. I have loud pipes so I can still here my engine...Nothing like Nickel back cranked up in the twisties..maybe a little ozzy at times. I see nothing wrong with it.

I listen to music on sometimes when I ride alone. I can still hear the bike and traffic sounds around me. I ride in very rural areas where I can go for miles and not pass another vehicle on the road going either way.
There's nothing like a good set of corners to go with the right music. I also wear earplugs and I sometimes get the same feeling when the weather's perfect, no traffic, and a bunch of high speed corners so you feel in the "zone" with your Vmax. Nothing like blasting to over 130 mph or going thru a sweeper at 90 mph on a Vmax!

I live in the lower penninsula and it's the same way around here. I only ever listen to my zune when I am riding alone and I can hear everything around me going on because I use over the ear headphones that wrap behind the neck Like These. They slip inside the helmet nicely and they aren't too loud either.

 

[Frosty72]

I wear noise canceling earbuds with my mp3 player when I'm going long distance, it's nice to get off the bike and not have the ears ringing for 2 hours after!

 

[Lew L]

I use the i-pod when sking all the time and on longish trips with my wife and the intercom on the Max.

 

[gamorg02]

i have in-helmet headphones i used to use for my yzf600, but have yet to do music on my v-max..

 

[Transam]

I can't seem to keep my ipod buds in my ears when I put the helmet
on, any suggestions out there ?
Thanks

Hey where did you get these and what are they?

Do you have any links, or at least the brand / model #?

thx
