I had music on for the best part of the nurburg trip this year, funnily enough my accident happened while I wasn't listening to music so no blame on that there just me.

Sadly though my inner ear phones arn't very comfortable with my new lid so im looking at getting some speakers to go inside my lid. Found some nice ones from yankeville that are nice and well priced

Spmetimes listen on my MP3, but why drown out the sweet noise of the bike

listened to music a couple of time but found myself singing along and relaxing to much!

Don't need music - just hearing the 7R on full chat is good enough for me

sorry that was me, i'll go and stand outside

DON'T BLOODY BOTHER i can testify for all those that went on the "Waiting for Antony Tour 2005" they are a pain in the arse. We had to wait for you to take your earphones out to talk to you and then wait for you to put them back in before we could set off - and not once did the music make you ride any faster - well maybe when Mr Kelly started singing "I believe I can Fly" but don't you just wish he'd made the flipside single "This is how to land"

I prefer singing AC/DC to myself when I ride...............this probably explains alot tho!!!

that is soooooo true Andy

I find music really makes you want to go faster. And when I accidently pull on the wire of the head phone, having to take your helmet off to put the headphone back in, putting ur helmet back on, then finding the wire got caught on one of your buttons so you have to do the same process all over again can get on my nerves.

well the misses is getting me an ipod and i thought it would be ideal cus i love me music by the sounds of things its ok to have it on but not to load to not hear traffic etc. i do love the sound of the bike but its also nice to have a bit of music with it

speaking about deaf tractor riders, anyone have problems with hearing beacuse of bikes/use or dont use ear plugs. I never even thought about it, but i took a friend pillion the other day who rides gsxr600 and he said my bike was alot louder (which i was chuffed about ) and is suprised i havn't gone deaf yet, yay race cans.

I wear ear plugs but not because of the sound of the bike. It's the wind roaring by the helmet that makes my ears ring.

As to music, I think I would find it too distracting.
