Not illegal IMHO. I use mine plugged into the bike intercom system (with GPS and Phone) and wired into fitted head sets in both rider and passenger helmets. Would be a bit naughty to flick through albums on the move though.Yes, it is illegal. Not to mention INCREDIBLY stupid.
don't know about illegal but it would be hard to drive not hearing sirens around u or warning beeps

If you have your earphones in you cant really hear if someone is beeping their horn or shouting at you.
It is not illegal to ride when one is deaf, so I guess the same applies. However, technically, one is only allowed to listen to spoken word from the radio, when one is driving a car. I should think common sense applies. At the very least, fiddling in pockets etc for buttons would be a no no at speed. You could use an intercom system and play it through that, or if you have a Goldwing play it through speakers.

There's the dear old "without due care and attention", now I believe it's "careless driving", which it most certainly is. You cannot be concentrating on your riding, and you will not hear horns, sirens etc - that's careless.I have a 110 scooter,what color is best suited.what do u think is a good color?
It is no more illegal than a bike intercom, or an overblown stereo in a car. It is no more dangerous than wearing earplugs, which many riders already do.Why do Harley bashers bother to write answers to harley questions?

It's totally fine, like having a radio in a car.Who can repair Electric Bikes in manhattan ?
I don't have an iPod, but I used to use my personal stereos, I even had some headphones that velcro'd to the inside of my helmet. I did get stopped by police whilst wearing it, for something else, and the only thing he said about it was he thought it was pretty cool. Anyone who says it's illegal is obviously lying.
Any bike mechanics in the Hollywood, CA area?
yes its illegal but its bloody good funI have a clutch cable problem.?
It's perfectly legal though most people only listen to music on long motorway hauls. When you are out for a fun ride it's best not to as it affects concentration too much and also, on a bike what you hear is almost as important as what you see. There are certain earphones desiigned for use inside helmets that are good, they allow you to hear the music but don't block out external sounds.Can i put a motorcycle engine in a go kart?
No it's not illegal. I used to use a walkman (for the youngsters thats a mobile music device based on tape technology) whilst riding.Carrying dog on the bike? Is it legal in UK?
My main reason for recommending you don't do it is the damage you will probably do to your hearing. Most bike riders don't seem to realise that the wind noise you get whilst riding can permanently damage your hearing & give you tinnitus.
When will India ever get a (powerful) twin cylinder bike?
To be able to hear music over the wind noise you would have to have the volume set at an unsafe level. I would recommend that anyone who rides a bike uses hearing protection as hearing loss is no fun & it can't be reversed (I know this through experience).
What is the first year that Kawasaki came out with the Ninja ZX14?
Don't know if it's illegal or not, but it flippin well ought to be. If you ride a bike and can't hear what's going on around you you're likely to wind up underneath something like a Volvo and that will damage a lot more than your hearing, so don't be stupid and put the earphones in your bag too.The same answer as just me said
Is there a biker gang called the Mountain Men in New Hampshire or anywhere else?
One point to consider is that if you have a prang and need to rely on the protection of your helmet, is having a hard unyielding object between your helmet and your ear going to have any adverse effect?How strong is your skull near your ears and how much damage is this going to do.
