Re: Music while riding - Legal or Not - Arfa - 22-08-13
Just to clarify, we talking about music through ear plugs, yes? That was what you're acquaintance who was fined was using, right?
As a few weeks ago a chap on a blinged out green Ninja pulled up beside me in London, with huge speakers attached to his handle bars, blaring tunes out. Bit mad really, could see a copper pulling him up for disturbing the peace or playing music without a public entertainment license or some such bollox.
That said, don't Pan Europeans, Goldwings etc have built in radios?

If it was illegal you bouldnt be allowed to sekl headsets in helmets etc..
From what im lead to believe in ear earphones are illegal due to blocking out ambient soubd but speakers are fine

I wouldnt work without music, I dont ride without music.
But if Im hooning with my mates and the 'tempo' starts getting a bit frantic, then I turn it off, its time to focus!
Isnt it ALWAYS time to focus?????

So true Doddsie. It's kept me alive for 23 years.

Been using this setup for over 2 years now.
Listen to music and get my GPS instructions from it all day long and Ive never flattened the battery.
I turned my mates onto this deal and they are also using these bluetooth intercoms without any problems.
Compared to 'branded' intercoms these are a steal

Thanks Mattsplat.

Never liked to hear anythin but the bike while out riding, and as much as possible whats happenin around me.. If anyone wants me while out on the the bike then they can wait til the next pit stop

When I am on the bike the mobile it is in my pocket in silent mode, nothing is so important that it cannot wait until the ould pitstop

Great kit. Almost indistinguishable from my (broken) expensive Cardo Scala rider :rolleyes

Ah, you went for outside the helmet, my BT kit was integrated in my Caberg lid. Much more bling! £150 new, or two for £30 on eBay!

I've got a set of Soundears (http://www.ultimateear.com/motorcyclist.php) and a Garmin Zumo660 so that I can listen to directions and music but have the ability to turn it off (or down) when "making progress" or in town.

Is it the Goldwing which has stereo built in to the fairing?
Probably fined for having it belting out in residential area
Re: Music while riding - Legal or Not - kawasutra - 18-01-14
Used to have music in one ear and keep other free when I rode to n from work. No incidents or scares at all.
Never when out for a pleasure ride, ear plugs only.
