As for the arguement about listening to CDs, Id save that for riding in the car , the sound of the wind is much better.

I guess you didn't really understand my point. First off my wife and I ride and when I say ride I'm talking 700-800 miles in a day when were on a trip. So listening to music while riding that long of distance makes the ride enjoyable!!
The point I was making is people who own a R* only, think that when they get on a harley and they feel the vibration at idle!! in their mind that is a bad thing! My point was that even though you may seem to feel the vibration more at idle on a harley in reality it vibrates less then a R*!!!! The ROADSTAR vibrates so BADLY as soon as you bring the RPM'S up you can't play a CD and everything about the bike is RATTLING. Now can you understand why I would used the CD not being able to be played in the R* to get my point across???? Go ahead and ride what you want and convince yourself that your bike is superior to others and if you want to hear the wind in your ears rather then music feel free! You can save your music for the car. But I will continue to ride my motorcycles everyday of the week!!!
