Sorry if this has been brought up before but maybe it's been a while.

Who carries an iPod and do you have it mounted on your bike somewhere/somehow?

Unless it's a short ride, I always have my iPod with me. I just carry in my pocket with the ear plug wires dangling in the wind.

I'm hoping someone has some better ideas to share.

Anyone have a helmet with built-in speakers? Do they work pretty good?

 

I used one on a long trip to Canada in Aug but otherwise I prefer the sound of nature and my own random thoughts

I have a j&m cb mounted to the handlebars of my Heritage and my Ipod gets connected into a lead from that which in turn gets fed into the j&m speakers in my modular helmet which I generally only wear in the cold or on long trips. The sound is great.

 

I have an iPod nano mounted to the handlebars. I picked up a nice mount for it on eBay for like $30.

 

I mount my iPod Nano to my Ultra Classic's bars with a Ram Mount. I connect the iPod to the radio's Aux input. The setup works great.

 

In my windshield bag and playing thru the radio.

 

I have a Nokia N95 cell phone/MP3/GPS that I carry with me all the time. I put some velcro on the back of the "skin" and I sewed a piece of velcro on the leather tank bra on my Heritage. I use regular headphones but I only use one ear. If it starts raining, I stuff it in my pocket (yes I can do that while riding!!!). I can even recharge it with the cigarette lighter adapter in my saddlebag. It works for me.

 

I got a CB installed on my bike, hook it into that and listen to it that way.

 

i got tired of singing born to be wild by myself and bought a sansa clip mp3 player. works well. i can't even hear myself making all that noise. other drivers look at me funny though.

 

Same here. Great for long rides. App 8 hours before something the first one comes up.

 

In my pocket but ONLY for the long boring freeway rides.
