Had a Harley keeping pace with me at every red light and had to hear his music blaring . The sound system was probably a few grand and with it being a Harley it must compete with the loud exhaust . Doesnt it make more sense to just use some ear buds or are you just trying to get attention ?

It's a sure fire way to get Tinnitus and risk hearing loss. I hear people blaring loud music on Slingshots, too.
I thought about strapping a speaker to my scooter 
But at least it would sound halfway decent, all of them sound awful.

Was he playing .38 Special by any chance? It seems like all they listen to.

Loud stereos save lives.
I think you mean hoopty ...... hurry up and change it before anyone else notices .Yes…..A $500 whoopty on rented 24’s with the windows down blaring from a $5,000 sound system would have been far less annoying…….

Might or not be legal depending on the state, earbuds and headphones with music not the smartest thing when driving..
Loud Harley-Davidsons are obnoxious by themselves.
Agreed. Them and the mustangs with no mufflers that sound like garbage.
We've got a fair few of those around here. Decked out with enough LED's to put on a stretch of highway and land the space shuttle with everything cranked to 11.
Done! But you got it…..Right?I think you mean hoopty ...... hurry up and change it before anyone else notices .
I've yet to hear a motorcycle sound system that actually sounds good.
They generally sound exactly like I'd expect a 4" driver would if fed a bunch of watts.
Not a fan of Harley’s in general, the worst is the straight piped god awful noise they make on top of a stereo that’s entirely too loud:
Indeed. It's a pet peeve of mine - attention seeking Harley riders want to be loud but they can't hear their music, so so they put an even loder radio on.
Arrested development takes many forms.
We should get rid of all those old loud and unsafe cars and bright colors ... all those attention seeking muscle car owners with their gas guzzling v8s are just ruining our society... Chevelles and Corvettes are the worst offenders too..
Everyone must conform...
On a slightly more serious note - As already mentioned ear buds may or may not be legal, but there are helmet audio systems and intercoms. I personally find air pods work, and if you turn noise cancellation off you can still hear traffic which should be important to a rider.
