Default Music for the road

I'm in the final stages of getting my bike. I have a problem though: when I'm in my car, music makes the ride MUCH more fun. How do music lovers on R6's cope with the obvious lack of a kickin' sound system?

Is that illegal, or is it only illegal in a car? Either way, I have long lead-singer-of-Styx-like curly hair...I guess no one would notice ;)

I am gonna use a Ram-mount to put my Smartphone on my bike so I can use Windows Media Player 10 to listen to mp3s or wmas. And of course use it for GPS and watching movies. Who cares if its legal or not?? I am pretty sure 99% of the time I am on my bike I am doing something illegal.

hahaha. You're probably right. By the way, I'm sure you'll hear from me sometime in the future regarding some angel eyes. Those are so friggin' cool.

...gotta get the bike first, though :-/

a chatterbox.. and the mp3 player plugged into that. I have a smartphone too highbimmin.. but the battery life sucks for playing music and videos. You'd have to rig a secure mount with a charger for it.

I agree about my old Mpx200 but my new Audiovox has awesome battery life.
