    Audiobooks on a bike?

    What an awesome bike. Really appreciated the value of add-ons like a higher windscreen, Hand Wings, and heated grips.

    Oh, and hot tip: I listened to an Audible production of Gettysburg by Newt Gigngrich and William Forstchen (an alternate Civil War history) and though music can be muddy through the speakers at highway speed, audio books are highly listenable. I just created an audiobooks playlist and it plays right off of my iPad Mini. Win!
    What a great idea. I never thought about it before but riding the F6b is all about fun and relaxation so why not sneak in a few good books en route? My question may sound stupid, but how do you source the books? I've previously only purchased them on cd's or borrowed them from the library. How to transfer them to the iPad? Thanks for the tip!

    Audible.com is the hot ticket. Been a member since 2001. Once you authorize your device, the books can be synced from iTunes and played the same as any album--by artist (author), title or playlist.
