Is there a way to install headphones (of the walkman genre or similar)
in a motorcycle helmet which (a) works, (b) is safe, (c) is legal,
(d) any combination of the above?  Do particular helmets or particular
headphones work better?  Are the on-the-ear phones much better in
this respect for hearing outside noises than the over-the-ear phones?
How might the ability to hear horns, sirens, etc with such a setup
compare with (1) helmet and typical motorcycle engine noise alone,
(2) stereo mounted in your fairing [how do you keep these weatherproofed
and burglerproofed? - no, I don't have a fairing], (3) a tanky car with
the windows rolled up and the stereo on?
