which is better for women- Pep or Pleasure?
Personally I would not. Riding a motorcycle is a risky thing and you need to be focusing 100% on the road and the vehicles around you rather than your favorite rock band blasting in your ears. I would say if need be then listening but at a quiet volume. if you get distracted it could take your life, or someone elses. Be careful!can i expect to get 25000 miles on my 2004 fatboy harley?
Yeh right. Then you will not hear the sirens that are coming from the side or behind you. When you see them it is too late.yes very safe, even safer if you wear a blindfold and ride with no hands.
not safe at all
No, it's not safe. Your physical abilities will be diminished, and hearing is probably the second or third most important of the senses when it comes to driving. My brother survived a motorcycle accident but not the guy whose house I am now living in.

Unless you are riding on a track, you shouldn't wear headphones.
Harley Hardbags on metric bike part 2.?
In most states, wearing headphones while operating a vehicle (not just motorcycles) is against the law. The state of California being one of them. Check your local laws.
If you REALLY want to be safe, stay focused and use your head. Headphones will distract you from your riding.
BE SAFE OUT THERE!

If I were to ride a Honda Silverwing to the Honda Hoot in Knoxville Tenn will I be laughed at?
As a Licensed Motorcyclist for over 3 decades (I won't say how much over) ... I would say that this is VERY UNSAFE -- and even though I wear a Full Face Helmet, Safety Gear/Clothing -- I would NEVER put earphones on to listen to music -- for then ... HOW in the world am I supposed to HEAR the conditions around me (and especially on a Motorcycle -- you are basically invisible to most drivers -- so you MUST rely on your instincts and reactions otherwise .. you are DEAD!).When you get on your bike and take off do you know where you are going or just see where you end up?
I think so as long as u don't go to loud."But that's hard to do."Yes. Phones block out wind noise that impairs hearing more than music. It is legal in my state for riders to use phones or ear plugs.
What is really unsafe for motorcyclists is cagers talking on the cell phone (headphones are illegal for cagers).
Who manufactures the chinese 163FML motorcycle engine?

How could you pay the amount of attention to other traffic and/or pedestrians or other things that will suddenly get in the way that is required to survive on a motorcycle if your mind is on music or anything else for that matter?Is 18k too much for an 01 Honda CBR 600 F4i?
Sure,and answer the cellphone as well,It's bad enough we have to deal with jerks with cars,who cause most of the accident with bikes.I have been riding for 21 years and luckily no accidents yet,five times cross country and have seen fools on bikes with headphones,and most of them stop when some sort of incident scares them to death because they could not hear or were not paying attention.I use a J&M communications center on my bike. It utilizes headset speakers that slip into pockets in the ear slots of the helmet that were put there for that purpose by HJC. The J&M system features a 40 channel CB, intercom, 10 band weather radio and input from my XM satellite radio.
trouble shooting for a geely motorcycle?
I'm as safe riding with it on as I would be with out it, and at times my wife and I are SAFER because of it. An extra set of eyes, and the ability to be able to speak and be heard in a clear normal voice can be a very good thing.
Parallel twin exhaust header. "H" equalizer vs "Y" 2 into 1?
Opposed to headphones these speakers allow for outside noise to get to you because the speakers are flush with the helmet and not blocking or pluging up your ears.
I enjoy listening to the radio while I ride, and have been in situations where I have spoken to trucks with the CB that kept me safer than had I not had it because the trucker, and most around us, made a point to LOOK AT and SEE the bike with the radio.
I want to remove decals from my motorcycle gas tank. They have been on since 1988! How is this done?
It's like anything else, it depends upon how the oporator uses it as to how effective and safe it is.
when the gladiator 150cc going to launch?
I like Nomad's answer to this one. I agree that having a CB radio is a large advantage when highway travelling. Other than a system like he described though, it's a no-no. Headphones are meant to block outside noise. Purpose built motorcycle accessories don't.do you like to ride a harley with a older man?
Not really, also in most states it is illegal.smooth or tread tires for non-motorized cart?
There is a lot of mis-information going around on this subject. I point of fact, California allows you to listen to music, but only in one ear. Many states allow you to listen through both ears, while some allow headsets for communication (CB or cell phone) but don't allow music. I ride a lot with a Chatterbox intercom with speakers inserted into the slots of my HJC full face helmet, and an IPOD playing through the aux input. Listening to music at a moderate volume isn't dangerous, cuz I can still hear the traffic noises around me. And I make it a point not to change songs or mess with the controls while riding. It is that sort of distraction that is dangerous. That's why hands-free cell phone laws are absurd....it's not about using a hand....it's all about distracting your mind. Keep your mind focused on your ride, and you'll be safe enough.Most longtime riders wear ear plugs.
There are in-ear 'phones that work just like ear plugs, removing about 35dB or more of wind noise, and allowing you to hear music at a very low level.
