ipod shuffle is the toy for that, not sur if its legal but it would be dangerous. i like to hear other traffic.

Mobiles are flawed devices when they try to cram in too much functionality - one of the themes I am presenting this week in the US (hence the stupid-o-clock postings) - buy a camera if you want to take photos, an ipod if you want to listen to music, a psp if you want to play games, and a phone if you want to make calls!

and Feeder (Comfort in Sound) has been playing on a loop for the last week....

This is a good thread, although I haven't heard of any of the bands you're talking about, Tony! Must get out more.

Dseered, done that biting the cheek thing sooooo many times, but mainly from chewing gum whilst riding.

CK - I don't have tunes in my head whilst riding ... I have voices. And I can't shut them up. They're telling me how I'm riding and what I'm doing wrong. Or they're screaming at stupid drivers or the BHC crew or Hooley telling them to slow down!

I've discovered one good trick though. I can answer my mobile whilst still in my helmet. I've got a little Samsung phone and can stick it inside my helmet and ride whilst wearing it. Very useful when you're trying to find someone's house and they're talking you in with directions and a running commentary on what you should be looking out for. Result!

No. My C500 does everything I want it to in one device and a small form factor.

You stick to analysing the business, I'll stick to the technology. Bloody upstart analysts thinking they know all about techo stuff!

I used to use my minidisc player when I first started riding, I'm not too sure whether it would be legal or not, I cannot see why not as you can have music on in the car, but I used to have the volume cranked up to get over the engine/exhaust/wind noise which obviously impacted on my senses as I had no idea what was around me. Also once you got towards 140+ it would start to skip with the amount of air flapping my leathers about.

Got a Ipod mini now, much smaller but never tried it on the bike, doubt I will to be honest.

This week I be mainly listening to:
Pure9 - music for the masses
Stevie Wonder - songs in the key of life
