Im looking for a decent set of ear buds that would fit under my helmet so I can listen to my Zune player while riding,,anybody have any ideas? No I don't want speakers on my scoot...lol I have a cheap set that would work. Just a typical cheap set with rubber ear canal inserts. My helmet has small speakers mounted inside of each side of the chin strap. It's funny, you'd think hearing would be an important part of a helmet design but I can't hear squat inside of mine, music or not. That's when the modular flip up is handy. I have speakers on my bike but you have to blast them to hear anything from inside the helmet. That's what I miss about my old 3/4 helmet with a flip up shield. It had removable ear pads which, when removed, let in cool air and made hearing much better while still keeping wind noise to a minimum. Peripheral vision was better too. No chin protection though. I left it with the insurance adjuster after my wreck and they gave me back the cost of it. |

Reading many of the threads here, you start with some decent feedback in the responses, then it devolves into a conversation between two of the responders, and the conversation has nothing to do with the OP's request. Let's all try to keep things just a bit more organized, please. Sorry, Jerry. Will do. |

Unfortunately, this is the very reason I don't visit as much. Threads get off track really fast; making it hard to follow information. Or a couple of gear heads get into it over synthetic or dino, where the original thread had information I needed. So, wading through the BS and the Pis**ng contests gets old.

You'll be lucky to get 5 miles out of a cheap belt. I had two of those fail in just a few miles. Pay for a Gates or Bando and you'll be glad you did. |

That's where I got most of my belts, from ebay. If it's the right size you should be good to go. The seller has a good feedback rating. I shoot for 99.7% good feedback or higher. |

I got 300 miles out of a cheap Kevlar belt , lol . then it broke into many pieces. I didn't get to my local store. I was all happy and excited about having a new belt and within oh 8 minutes, brrrrrrrrr. Uh oh. I was not a happy camper. I thought, ok I got a bad one. Let me order another one from another dealer. Same thing happened. Then I got a Gates. Those two cheap belts cost me about a dollar a mile. Not a good deal. At least I had free towing through my insurance company. |

What does insurance cover on a scooter? Why would someone on a scooter get insurance? Collision insurance? |
