General Riding To Music? Yes Or No?

To ride with music or not? A safety concern? or No?

I've done it a few times... The term 'Loud Pipes Save Lives' springs to mind though: If everyone had earphones in with the music jacked up, loud pipes most definitely wouldn't save lives! So in general I avoid it, I'd rather have all my senses focusing on the task at hand haha!

Yeah, Im a big believer in loud pipes saving lives. I could see some riders with music jacked up, not paying attention and wouldn't notice if a hazard is around them.

If I'm on motorways and going for a few hours then I'll play music on the sena - stops you loosing focus when you're looking at the same Tarmac and lampposts, over and over again

Music most of the time.

I can't hear anything else over the bike anyway. However I do turn it off when in the heavy traffic.
