    New guy from Mass

    Hi y'all, new to the forum but I've been living in Bellingham for about 2 years now. I found this forum while searching for riding laws for MA and RI, go figure the only 2 states I ride in are the only 2 that have a law against listening to music while riding. I've got a 79 honda cx 500 that I restored from completely useless to becoming my daily drive to work for 3/4 of the year. If you dont' know what that is, it looks a little like a water-cooled moto guzzi. It's a v-twin but the cylinders are sideways, and its the only bike I know of that has pushrods and also a 9,000 rpm redline. It's a small engine but a large bike and gets me to work and back with no problems. It was given to me by a friend after his divorce, he didn't like it or want it, and it didn't run and the brakes didn't work. If you've ever wondered what happens to brake fluid after a few years of non-use, it looks a little bit like fish eggs. Anyhow, glad to find y'all, I'll end with a picture:

    Welcome.

    Just started riding with headphones. Hadn't even though it'd be a no-no. What's the difference between wearing ear plugs and earbuds for an mp3 player. Can't really see why it'd be a problem.
