I'm still waiting for a motorbike helmet with active noise cancelling. Seems unfair that cars are allowed to be as quieter than a padded room but bikes are not even allowed music.

... I don't know that you would want noise cancelling ANYTHING on a bike. You have to drive much more defensively than in a car and be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Honda has been putting active noise cancellation in the Odyssey for a long time. This is neither revolutionary or evolutionary.

as opposed to not paying any particular attention in a car? cause that's ok right? Nah you don't need to be 100% aware of your surroundings while your driving, no risk of killing anyone at all.

... I think he was making a point of self-preservation. Something that is exponentially more important when riding on two wheels. Nobody is saying it's not important to be aware when driving a car.
