i thought up an invention on the way home from work

[Lizzard[MPE]]

ok..

put a 6 cd disc changer in a motorcycle and have wireless speakers in the helmet.


has this been done yet?

Headphones + driving = bad Is that legal? I'm pretty sure driving a car with headphones is illegal in most places.

[Lizzard[MPE]]

it wont be headphones it'll be a helmet.. no one will ever know its got speakers in it

[The Rock]

In that case it could work. I don't think most cycle nuts would go for it though. Especially the way the crotch-rocketeers drive; they need to hear outside things.

[Wombat]

Sorry Lizzie, it's about as legal to sell as those "cable descrambler" boxes in the back of magazines.

You can't drive a vehicle with audio headphones on.

[gt40]

Don't know how it would sell, (even if it were legal)
it's much easier to just buy an MP3 player and stuff it in your jacket.

or just buy a Honda Goldwing

Exactly

[Greebe]

Yes there is such on the market. Has been for some years now. Cyclists can use to listen to music and or communicate to other riders via 2 way radios.

Haven't seen a Goldwing in years, there used to be many more of them around...

Goldwings are statements that people nowadays dont make..

i was thinking of having a 2-way radio as well as it would be easier for the pillon-rider and the rider to communicate. Less problematic than having the rider to turn his head to listen whatever his pillon is saying to him

[Jammrock]

How many times do I have to tell people this!?! Goldwings are not motorcycles, they are small convertables. Anything that's so big you need reverse on is not a motorcycle.

Anyway, I think you have audio in your helmet as long as the speaker/earpiece is not in direct contact with the ear. If it's a speaker that is not directly covering the ear it should be okay.

I'm surprised you thought of this, because I normally think of things like "how can I mount rocket launchers, death rays and very powerful machine guns on my car," on my way home from work.

DONT RAIN ON MY PARADE PEOPLE.

I INVENTED SOMETING

RIGT HERE RIGHT NOW.


lol.

[SpiralDragon]

it would be nice.... though insted of a cd changer i would go for an mp3 player with 20+gb.... more practical... especialy if you hit some bumbs and the CD strats to skip... add in the plus option that would include a 2way R

[DGhost]

I was thinking this would be especially cool if you used like a Bluetooth headset linked to a laptop/palmtop somewhere on your body or in a backpack. You could use it to listen to music, give you directions, etc if you had good voice recognition software and an interface designed to use it.

shit, with WiFi or a cell phone link up you could also be connected to the internet/making phonecalls. yeeeaaah baby.

you could even go for the full gargoyle mode and get one of the eyepiece VGA devices for display of info. muahahahaha.

yeah, while i do not drive motorcycles, i may be one of the first to die while doing an excessive speed and using the internet.
