    But then I'd to give this up since the client I work for suddenly decides its against security measures to carry a phone with cam into office
    So now I'm back to my good 'ol Nokia 3310.. So no music on roads during office days

        Its the same case with me in Wipro working for Cable & Wireless. No camera phones allowed. So thought u might also be working for Wipro.

          I never plug in anything in my ears while riding my bike (even though i own an XpressMusic handset) because i like listening to my bike's engine sound. That sound itlself is music to my ears.

              RX's heart beat will even make the heart beat of the rest of the bikers near it off-tuned

              Well in my place, listening to music and riding is banned by Shillong Traffic Police (STP). Have to be extra cautious if one is listening or even talking in the phone while riding. Most of the time I tap my feet on the break and gear pedals, move my index fingers and sing along with my own tune.
              But around the countrysides where there are very less vehicles I even used to dance by standing on the foot pegs and make my moves while riding.

              Its never too late to Ride! So Ride on!

                bad idea, you need to keep your hearing sense free, as who knows a big vehicle is hurling towards you with no brakes, and the only way he can alert you is by blowing his horn.....

                safe riding...

                        to cancel the wind noise,you've to use ear-buds(rubber) check out pitstopdiscussions or UT section for the thread regarding ear buds

                          My 2 cents...
                          I'm a person who likes to do one thing at a time (learned out of experience). So either ride/drive OR listen to music.

                          I do listen to music when I drive, only on longs, it tends to change my mood completely. Once I was hearing the OST from the movies, Torque, Gone in 60 seconds & MI2 (stupid playlists) & my driving had gone crazy until I realized it myself. Learned a good lesson that music changes the mentality.

                          So my take on music with driving will be - Big NO.

                          Well as many folks said, my Rx100 beat is a good music to enjoy, nothing else will do
                          Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
                          Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way
                          ATGATT + Awareness + Skill means you might Live To Ride another day

                            ^ Very true.Listening to music changes our mood/mentality based on the songs
                            the rule is dont listen to ROCK music while driving/riding it makes you to go crazy,you wont even notice that.

                              +1 TO THE ROCK THING...
                              but sometimes its hard to control...
                              when u see an open road.. may be u not in a mood to rip... but a hard metal song with some kickass guitaring.. will make u rip ....

                                Maintenance Requirements: Consider the maintenance needs of the chainsaw. Look for models with easy access to the chain tensioning system, automatic chain oiler, and air filter for convenient maintenance. Regular maintenance ensures the chainsaw's longevity and optimal performance. read this​
