better not! If you do RIPIn seconds what is the 0-60mph of a 1999 honda cbr600?
Definitely not. Think about it, not be able to hear stuff while riding a motorcycle?Music is generally distracting, and its especially dangerous when youre on a motorcycle. Also, its not very practical if you ask me, because youd probably have to turn it up real loud to be able to hear over all the noise..

Do i need a tool for my chain?
I'll be watching this question, as I have a 4300 mile trip planned for Sturgis this year. I'm thinking of just using one earbud instead of both, that way I can still sort of hear whats going on around me?I'm sure its not as safe as not having ear buds in, but hey on a long trip like I have planned, I want something to listen to.

I don't really consider it safe to have anything going on that restricts my hearing while riding a bike. Helmets are bad enough.How long does a yamaha r1 engine last if it is well kept.?
Also, in some states (Colorado being one) it is illegal to wear earphones. (Wyoming however does allow it).
What's the technical name for the tubes going to/from a motorcycle carb?
I won't say that in-helmet speakers are bad however. But I also know how most people blast their tunes and wouldn't be able to hear themselves sneeze anyhow. So it just isn't safe. A motorcyclist needs ALL of his attention on his riding.
no that's against the law, you could get hit and not hear it coming and you wouldn't hear some one honking at you or emergency veichles.

I never turn it up so loud that it becomes overpowering. In cities or on crowded roads I turn the radios down, but the intercom allows my wife to instantly communicate with me so we have an extra set of eyes helping to watch out and keep us safe.

What tyre pressure should I have in my bike?
ha! not really i guess, that is why it is illegal to do so while driving a car! But bike riders tend to be more alert and conscientious of whats goin on around them than car drivers, so just keep 'em kinda low!I have riden many times with my headphones including cross country. I dont fel myself anymore alert or less for that matter, but I would not recommend riding with headphones because your ears hurt after you take the helmet off, you can hardly hear the music all way up with the wind noise, and they are so uncomfortable. Built in headsets in your helmet would be nice to have.
Yes, its safe. Its more practical to have speakers,either on the bike or in the helmet, though.
CBR 600 f (2000 model) Engine cuts out when main beam is on?
There's an interesting range of response already to this, but I'd have to say that it's a very bad idea to wear ear/headphones whilst riding your motorcycle. It's not illegal, but it certainly reduces your senses - particularly with regards to hearing important cues as to what's going on either with your bike, the road surface and other road users - namely cars and vans that mightn't be as as smart as they should be.For example (admittedly this is more relevant for the UK perhaps!), if you're riding in the cold one of the best ways to know if there's invisible "black ice" on the road is when your tyre noise suddenly disappears or is markedly muted. Similarly, idiotic van and taxi drivers (or school-run mums) can creep up on you from any angle and it helps to be able to hear them before you see them - without having swivel your head the whole time.

If one has ear buds in listening to an ipod then, please, use the cellular for text messaging too. Yes, you might have to take both hands off the handles while on roadway in heavy traffic travelling at considerable speed, but isn't this intelligent design to do so? Feel free to be Darwinistic too.
