• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Shoei Headwave

I have a Sena in my Shoei (say five times fast). I happily use it for music and talking to passengers/fellow riders (as noted above, being able to talk to your pillion is FAR safer than hand signals and helmet-thumps). Would never use it for a phone, and I'm too broke for a new GPS ;).

My accommodation for safety is that I don't play music in town very often, i.e. while commuting on my bikes the tunes stay off. But once I get out into open road and twistyland, I've got no issues with listening to some music.
 
Below is a video of a nice ride on a country road where a dog runs out in front of a rider and he goes down. The second rider almost get crushed by a truck. It could just as well been a dear or something that would destroy a Spyder. You can never let your guard down when riding. Never.

Warning: Really bad language


Here is a better angle. Again, really bad language.

I'm okay with the radio on the Spyder, but wouldn't want music in my helmet. On two wheels, I don't ride with any kind of distraction (music, gps, etc).
