Thanks alot guys!

I seem to have heard something about hearing protection on a motorcycle, but it went in one ear and out the other. (I did not intend to make all those puns, but it did work our nicely Cheesy

)

Anyway, I hear the crickets all the time as well and know I have hearing loss. I really try to use ear plugs if I know I am going to be around loud noise. I guess I will add them to my riding gear as well. I really need to save all I have left.

Appreciate it!

I foudn out my ipod nano can hit the pavement at 65 mph and still work just fine with only a few dings last time.

I rode about 40 miles today, round trip and tried the ear plugs. It was a little different, certainly not as loud, I seemed to have a tendency to run faster than normal. Once I realized that, I got back down to the right speed. It was different.

Once I got off and took the plugs out, I could really tell a difference. I guess I found a new something to keep up with.

Spark Plugs? Saw the Rolling Stones back in '72 and couldn't hear for about three days, since then it's been all down hill for my hearing and I have a ringing 24/7. Sounds like a tea kettle starting to come to a boil in the next room. I use the cheap "buy by the box" foam ear plugs and toss some in my riding jacket, riding pants and anywhere else I can stash a set. It's real quite wearing a set of spark plugs but my helmet doesn't fit. You all need to speak up, can't hear you quite right Wink

And I've come to the conclusion that my custom earplugs are STILL too loud. That the foam ones are better. I'll have to get a megapack of them. I just have that slight ringing today.

I tried those in my ears but they flap in the wind something awful! Cheesy

Seriously, I wear plugs all the time, especially when not running a windshield. The wind noise is horrible with a cruiser helmet.
