Another Option!
Yes, I agree the prior thread went over similar ground.
And we've even mentioned the option I'm about to mention. But it has been awhile.
How about.......XM radio (or the other, less known brand)???
Several bikes (particularly GoldWings) are running XM. Very successfully and the owners enjoy it. In fact, we put XM in Lisa's (huckelberry's) truck just to try it on. As an experiment to see if I'd like it on my FLHTC.
Cost? A LOT less than a CD player! IMHO, less hassle than the MP3 players.
Anyone have thoughts on this?
