No music for me thank you, I prefer to survive my commutes.

A while ago, I used to have my XM radio set up with the antenna under the seat. I had numerous choices from news, sports talk, jam bands, rock, alt, etc... However, the past couple of years, I've been riding naked so I have nowhere to put the unit!

I really do enjoy the sounds of the town & the road...

My hunch is it is an unenjoyable piece of junk.

Kinda like your obtuse reply :)

I'd bet it sounds like monophonic AM radio. Too many other good choices out there including open headphones that don't block all sound if that concerns the rider.

Let me highlight what he did wrong:

I know you said you ride mostly in the country, but I would still recommend against listening to music with ear plugs.

Since when does listening to music make someone blind?
