eazyduzzit Posted September 26, 2008 #1 Posted September 26, 2008 This may sound stupid, but I'll try my best to keep from it. When I had my V-Star I had a small radio that I carried in my jacket pocket on Saturday mornings to listen to NPR. I am addicted to the Saturday morning NPR shows, and Saturday morning is when I do a lot of my riding. Anyway, I must have left it in the windshield pouch when I sold the V-Star, because I can't find it. I thought "no biggie" I'll go to Radio Shack and get another (I bought the old one at a garage sale) well all I can find are Ipods. Ipods are fine for music, but that's not what I used it for. I also used the radio while working in the yard. I guess I should clarify the fact that I have an RSTD. The bike that's kinda like a Venture except without a radio . Anyone know where I can find one?

KeithR Posted September 26, 2008 #3 Posted September 26, 2008 I have one like that Sony on that link...nice little radio....good reception....around the house anyway. Its 4-1/2"x2-1/2"x1"... Keith
Missionary Rider Posted September 26, 2008 #4 Posted September 26, 2008 Several of the MP3 (Sanyo) players have FM radio built in - the best of both worlds.
Captain Murph Posted September 26, 2008 #5 Posted September 26, 2008 Get a Sansa Clip from Sandisk. It is a 4Gb MP3 with FM radio that is about the size of a matchbook and will clip to the collar of your jacket. When I'm not riding my First Gen, I commute with my Honda Silver Wing. I listen to NPR and news in the morning and music on the way home. It never needs a battery; it plugs into the USB port on your computer and charges the internal battery overnight. Here's a link: http://go.shopsansa.com/content.aspx?id=clip&refid=c2_clip3&gclid=CPiPmO2p-pUCFQNbxwodaCZHFg I picked up my 4Gb at Costco for only $59. It's a great product. By the way: You can also use a cassette adapter (since we all seem to have these throwbacks) and play through the 1st or 2nd Gen audio system as well. Murph'
GeorgeS Posted September 26, 2008 #6 Posted September 26, 2008 I recently bought a Sangean, DT-200VX pocket AM FM. Its the best pocket radio I have ever owned. However, not cheap, as pocket radio's go. But, you get what you pay for , as they say.
eazyduzzit Posted September 26, 2008 Author #7 Posted September 26, 2008 I knew I'd get some good suggestions. I knew I could go online and look, but I figured there would be others besides me that have come up with some good ideas like the Sansa Clip from Sandisk. Thanks guys....J

I use a Microsoft Zune... and I can load up my CD (234 of them) and take them along as well.

In our Company store they used to sell one that was very small with a built in Clip. I'm off on Friday's but I will check Monday and if they still have them I'll get one and send it to you. Wasn't very much as I remember, as most items are highly discounted for employees. Jay
Herb In Texas Posted January 6, 2009 #14 Posted January 6, 2009 Send me your address and I will send you the one I bought at the PX here in Fort Worth. I got it when I rode a Boulivard Now I got no need for it. You can have it if you want it.
