Ear plugs
 

Sport Rider ran an article awhile back about the correlation of motorcycle riding and significant hearing loss. They went on to say that it has less to do with the motorcycle noise, and more to do with the wind blast at speeds. They advised to wear earplugs when riding over significant distances at high speed, or at the track.

Anybody here wear plugs at the track, or while droning down the superslab??? Or custom race plugs???

I wear ear plugs any time I'm riding more than just in town. Or my Ipod... but always something.

I need to start wearing them more, but yeah. I like em cause they cancel out most of the wind noise and you can hear the bike better. Much easier to notice if something isnt quite right real quickly.

Anytime I'm going to be on the bike for more than about fifteen minutes I wear ear plugs. It helps with rider fatigue a lot on long rides, and hopefully will still let me hear stuff when I'm old.

ear plugs make u go faster. its a fact.

Yeah i wear 'em on long rides.

hell, i wear earplugs to bed...... *shrugs*

I wear ear plugs on every single ride...no matter how short. I have for years. It took some getting used to at first...but after a ride or two it was much much better than without.

I wear earplugs all the time. It actually reduces the fatigue from riding.

I wear earplugs every time I ride also. You can check the pockets of every jacket I own, my leathers, and my Aerostich, and you will find 2-3 pairs of earplugs in them.

foam earplugs or noise canceling earbuds at all times.
