You put yourself in danger when you hop onto your motorcycle and take off down the road. You think this *******'s only in danger because he decided to wear an ipod during his ride? But I suppose I'm an ******* too. Well, an ******* of danger, that is!!

I think anything that distracts you while you are driving a motor vehicle is bad, especially if your driving a motor vehicle without a seat belt and side curtain air bags, like we do. I think it just reduces your chances to notice something, like a sound, that may save your life.


I agree with TrueFaith, but A LOT of people do use ear buds and iPods or cell phones.

I'll pass though.

One of the reasons Harleys have a loud muffler is, so others can hear you comming. And if you are listening to music or other, it distracts you and may not hear what goes on around you. You need all your attention on driving.

Actually Harley's come from the factory with 'legal' exhaust systems. Most owners install aftermarket systems to make them louder.

Yup they are very quiet from the factory as per Fed standards.

I once heard a bone stock sportster and the mechanical clatter of the air cooled engine was actually louder than the exhaust.

Definitely... A guy from school had a stock Nighttrain. The other Harley guys would tease him about "having a Honda" lol.
Well they did until a VTX1800 rolled by and drowned them all out :laughing:
