I've use an ipod but don't like the distraction.
The bike is all the music i need.

I was just listening to "space oddity" in the kitchen a couple days ago and the old lady said "god I hate that song!", so I turned it up and sang along!!
"Take your protein pills and put your helmet on" sweetheart!
I've never been a big bowie fan, but I like that song.

Joe, you better get some rest. You've got more bikes to look at!!

Yep, they all are, steve. There's a Lincoln commercial that uses that a remix of "space oddity".
She hates that, too.

Very nice with the "Hey You" vid. That's one of my favorites. I like a lot of Floyd, though. I have a full size "Dark Side of the Moon" poster back in my old room at my parent's house. By "full size", I mean 8ft x 10ft!
So that's why I got a psych degree! Dammit floyd!!

i tried it today. popped the old iPod into the Joe Rocket jacket, threaded the headphones through it...ran them into the helmet, put on da shades and went into the 50F weather. Sounds somewhat idyllic, eh?

FargAT that! i ripped the headphones out after a few miles. If i can't hear the rattle of my cam chain while she's cold or later on, the sound of the exhaust, it's not a full, true and valid riding experience.
Safety concerns aside, I much rather hear the whistling of the wind, the noise the bike makes and the whistles of the hot chicks in their cars when i glide past them. Ok,...i'm dreaming on the latter....
