Re: Ipod Use Whilst Riding
 
I listen to music on long jaunts but on weekend hoons (obeying the speed limits officer) I just use plugs. Doesn't affect my riding too much but loud music (which is the only way I enjoy listening to music) hinders my ability to think a little when hooning as I like to mentally talk through corners/traffic etc.

Mr PC pc pulled over someone i was talking to and he was told it was illegal... but i was sure i'd seen it wasn't on a thread here.

Too loud and it's dangerous, a little bit is quite good i reckon, but i'm just gonna leave them out, easier.

Try listening to something a bit more tranquil then music to calm the beast so to speak
find it helps listening through the autocom as volume stays at a relaxed level at all speeds now if only i could stop the interference on this radio

I like to hear exactly what is going on with the bike and what around me to be honest. If I was on a seriously long journey that was boring I would contemplate it but for hooning and having fun I dont think its a good idea.

I could still hear the sound of my Z750 with a standard pipe over Pendulum..

I listen to music on any journey over 15 minutes from A to B, about 3 quarters volume on the iPod with in-ear, noise attenuating earphones.

Before my crappy iPod headphones broke the inner ear ones i paid £35 for i did a lot I cant see it being illegal as long as it isn't making your ride out side the confines of the law. One thing is when i use my iPod i don't get as aggressive but i seem to think that I'm Valentino Rossi, I should be Rossi but they wont let me, Oh well.

Maybe you can't. Not every one is the same. If you cant concentrate when riding then technically you shouldn't be able to when your driving a car.
