^^^^  Seriously True ^^^^   To top that off every time I rode with AC/DC playing I got speeding tickets, go figure......  Oh and it is really really nice to hear strange sounds coming from the bike before it breaks  [Dolph]

Oh man. that last one. i know the feeling. Flywheel nut backed out and destroyed 4 valves. :(

I transplanted an EVO1100 motor into it (single spark) but cant get it to run right. ;\

Found out the hard way myself 25 years ago on an old Suzuki Kanatuna 600.  The bolt for the rear brake brace fell out and I never heard it.  Went for a gentle back brake drag at 75mph on a freeway when the brace slipped, the rotor rolled forward and locked the rear brake up.  Got my attention.  It was the last time I rode with tunes.......

25 years ago? We're you riding with a Walkman?

He-Man, what kind of helmet are you using? It may be playing a significant role.

I just picked up a Shark and the wind noise is considerably less compared to my HJC.

^^ lol  No it was a Walkman......  Complete with a tank bag full of tapes  [thumbsup]  I was rocking the really long curly hair, jeans torn up with spandex under them and a bandana....  God wtf was I thinking?  Clue:  [bang] 

I looked like a rockstar and could not play a kazoo,  Still worked for my purposes though  [evil]
