...sing out loud to themselves when they are riding? :lol:
I don't do it when I am out in the "twisties" (I call them "twisties" because I am still a beginner :lol:) but when I am cruising to work or running an errand I tend to sing...a lot...:lol:
Anyone else?
Only when I am incredibly bored. I like riding twisties with a mp3 player going. Helps me get focused.

I laugh a lot. Like, last summer, I was riding at around 150mph over this long straight, but bumpy road. Not little bumps, but like little swells. I was laughing because I felt my front end getting light over each crest and I was chuckling because I realized how close I was to probably killing myself, but I couldn't stop. It was too much fun.

I picked up some tight Sony ones for like 30 bucks. They're not your traditional buds. This pic isn't mine and it's pretty gross that you can see dirt on 'em, but these are the ones I have. Sound quality is awesome. I don't exaggerate either.

I've got some Phillips ($30) that I like, but they don't fit well under my helmet.
I tried using my ipod while riding once. I didn't like it too much. I felt like my equilibrium was off because I had something in my ears and I couldn't hear my engine the way I'm use to hearing it. Never again.

I'm gonna start wearing ear plugs more often. I just read an article in one of the mags about the dB of wind noise alone. At 100mph the wind noise can be the equivalent of a chain saw.
Plus, I've got inner ear problems.

Chatterbox is the best for me.
I do have Shure plugs as well, but my last pair was ruined when I used them under my helmet a few times, so I don't use them when I ride anymore.

No thanks on the Chatterbox. Maybe someday cruising across country, but no the way I ride now.

The cool thing about chatterbox is that you can intercept and/or become part of some jackass driving down the road's cell phone conversation... happened to a guy I was riding with a while ago... it was funny, he started talking shit to the guy...

I get some interference, but not a lot.
I love the fact that my friends and I can chat with each other when were riding long distances.
As long as were within 2 miles or so, depending on where we are riding.

Yeah, this guy said it had never happened to him before, but we were riding behind some slow ass car through the twisties, so it was perfect...
It'd be cool using a chatterbox on the track. talking mad shit to your buddies.

I want a Chatterbox so when I am riding with my husband we do not have to pull over for him to tell me what I am doing wrong/how I can improve.

ME TOO! Lately it"s been "cold" by crossfade. Btw if anyone is interested, I have several links for in helmet speaker systems ranging from cheap to Bose quality. I've tried a couple and some definitely crank out the tunes,dude! plus,most have inline volume control designed for use with gloves.

I don't want a music player, just something that I can use to talk with the hubs.
I tried looking into the Chatterbox thing but it was really confusing. They have tons of different systems but they all looked like they were for only one person...does that mean I would have to buy a second set? :willy:
If I could get something for under $200 I would seriously consider it. But I would want someone with first hand experience to tell me what they liked/did not like about it. :beers:

I could not tell for sure because I was so confused by all the different things they has. :idk:
