Re: Ear plugs
Hey guys.
Why do you wear earplugs? Obviously to drown out sound; but I love the burble of my exhaust, it's intoxicating! Is it to reduce road & wind noise? Do you still hear the exhaust? I only ride for pleasure when I get the time, so no commuting, would you recommend I get some? It's not a part of 'the kit' I've thought of before |

Re: Ear plugs
Never ride without them. They're essential as they cut out high frequency noise like wind blast which stops you gradually going deaf! Look it up on the web but I think at 60mph the wind blast is 100db which is very damaging to your ears. Makes no difference to the noise the bike makes, you'll still hear it perfectly

Re: Ear plugs
Google earplug earphones and I'm sure you'll find plenty of options. I have looked before but not got any I can recommend

Re: Ear plugs
There's some on eBay too but I find foam is best. There's a how to on YouTube on doing a DIY with foam earplugs. Might give it a go myself

Re: Ear plugs
That does look good and easy to do but I have bluetooth helmet..thought it was to god to be true to have my music on and wear ear protection at the same time allowing to hear satnav and music
