After a bit I realized it was coming from the car behind me, a grill mount loudspeaker system with a couple kids having fun. They were following respectfully, but kept it up for ~1/2mi. Eventually they passed and gave the thumbs up. It was all fun.

This isn't from a bike...but sort of like your post - in my car, I have an XM satellite radio that uses an FM modulator to broadcast 'inside' the car, to work with the factory stereo. Problem is, lots of other people have them too, so when I've got my unit off, and just listening to the NPR station (that sits on that frequency), I'll get a sudden earful of Howard Stern - never anyone else...it seems like all the Sirius subscribers use FM modulators...AND my frequency.
Since I'm not a Howard fan, I'll get back at them. Since my FM modulator is hard-wired to the car, it's fairly powerful....and can be heard about 100 feet away or more in another car. So, when I hear Howard Stern, it's time for me to turn on my XM unit to....XM Kids....or worse, the Broadway channel. Give 'em an earful.
