The difference a little bit of foam makes.

Never bothered with ear plugs while riding untill now. Went out for a quick 140 mile scoot today and on a whim put in some foam ear plugs i use at work. What a difference with the ear plugs my ride was transformed. Gone was the noise from the wind replaced by the comforting sound of the engine. Everything just sounded clearer, cleaner and more precise with the added bonus i could hear better what was happening around me. I can underatand now what people mean when they say noise reduction reduces fatigue. Why diddent i do this years ago.

They also reduce damage to your ears and may save your hearing later on!

Yes allthough my hearing has literally been shot to bits it never occured to me to whilst riding to protect what was left. (thumbs)

I use the ones joined by string.When I stop I wrap the string around the clutch lever,then I can't ride of without forgetting to put them in. (thumbs)

I usually wear earplugs when I'm on the BM, especially if it's a long journey but if I'm going for a quick blast on the Triumph T955 which has a sports exhaust I leave them out because I just love the sound of the triple :woohoo:

Anything over 30 mins and its ear plugs for me...and I've got a Schuberth C3 which is supposed to be a very quiet lid..is it hell!

I use cheap yellow throw away things. Use them for a week or so then pull another out of the box....I have a very large box full.

If your hearing is already damaged it is even more critical to protect what is left (thumbs)
