[QUOTE="Tom of VA, post: 51087, member: 492"] dobias, Thanks, radio reception around here is great in my car but on my bike the walkman seems to have a feature that senses my interest level in the talk or music I'm listening to and automatically goes to static until commercials come back on. Everyone keeps suggesting a pocket MP3 or I pod. However I really prefer to listen to the radio and I want to be able to control the volume and stations easily with gloves on. I also wouldn't mind being able to see the display even at night. There is some nice looking wired remotes avail for marine apps that look like they will work but the unit they control is a regular DIN size unit. I refuse to dedicate entire side case to warehouse a receiver. I just can't believe no one make a compact radio unit for a motorcycle. I think I will try Sirius but have heard so many stories about crappy signals. At least the Siurius receiver is compact, easy to operate and illuminated. PS: how's the weather in NW Michigan? When can you guys up there roll the bike back out of the garage? [/QUOTE]
