Your Sony doesn't have enuf power to totally drown anything out!??!!
Better read my lips:  *** Running your stereo full on with earphones
is damaging your hearing!***  Wind noise, especially on an unfaired bike,
can easily damage hearing all by itself.  Add enough earphone music to
be listenable and you have sound levels WAY in excess of anything safe.
OK, OK, I know you're not totally deaf - you have normal hearing for
an average 65-year-old.  Congratulations.
