There's a hell of a lot of stupid laws, and stupid people, in this bloated bureaucracy we call the United States Government.

 

ARe those pipes on your bike legal? They look kinda loud...

Sorry, just could not help it :-)

 

I don't think the main concern is not to be able to hear what is around you, but to actually pay attention, someone who is deaf, won't have any distractions, like rocking to MetallicA on their bike. As far as comparing listening to music to a cager with a cell phone or handsfree kit, the distraction isn't quite as bad listening to music as it is having a conversation where you're (usually, most times) using your brain to think what you're saying or wanting to say.

 

geez - lighten up a little -

ps you said you taught English?! Not the spelling part I'm guessing . . .

 

Just occurred to me - When I go on a longer ride on my Softail I use ear protectors (the type you scrunch up and shove in your ears). Figure I'd rather not be deaf somewhere down the road. Is that illegal?!

 

ok didn't notice how old this thread was - never mind . . .

 

Get a bagger

 

One day. but not unless I can keep my fatboy too. Those are the rules.

 

Question is ? What is legal in CA. Can't think of much. To many people there making life miserable for the majority.

my 2 cents !
