I'm personally of the opinion that motorcycles are like powertools, and
should be treated with mucho-respecto.

In this regard, I want to maximise the use of all my faculties in keeping
me alive, and I think that I do not want to be filling my ears with music
when they could be used to tell me that there is an unseen danger within
earshot.

I'd rather go without music in my head that have pavement or automobiles in
it. :-)
