Music?

[Cormanus]

YES!! YES!! YES!! I have different Spotify stations and playlists depending on the ride and the mood. I also learned from InHouseBob that I can share my music with riding buddies. However, I only listen to music when in leisure rides and when returning home after the work day. In the morning commute I tune to the local news in IRadio to stay abreast of traffic conditions.

Riding is good for the soul. Music is gooder for the soul. Together they can only be bestest.

My 05 R1200rt has the radio/audio /cd and speaker set up and have never really used it on the road .. Very distracting while riding so as to focus on gearing / engine revs ..

Just demo play it during friends night out in the garage

Installed a pair of Sena Bluetooth communicators in my helmet and my SO's helmet today, mostly for rider-to-pillion intercom and bike-to-bike communications. The sound quality is superior to the Chatterbox FRS units we tried twenty years ago. The Sena connects wirelessly to my iPhone and to the audio/Sirius/GPS system on my RT. My SO can ride pillion and call her daughter hands-free using her iPhone, or listen to her own music, my music, or chat with me. We bought it for road trips, not for day rides. I used to enjoy riding to music but don't much care for it anymore. I also have no desire to watch or listen to a GPS. Like others, I have the tinnitus soundtrack playing non-stop in my head, despite religious usage of earplugs. It's all very entertaining.

I couldn't imagine riding and not having music. This can make for a very dull ride when my SENA-SMH10 goes dead, but I'm always listening to something even if I'm not on the bike. I find having the bluetooth in-helmet setup will make it harder to not want to leave home without a helmet either. Since I'm from IL, we don't have to wear one but the added bonus of in-helmet entertainment and of course safety has me never leave home without a lid.
