In Florida? Who would notice? Old people don't see you anyhow, and the young people might think it's cool? Try it, see what happens? Paint them the same color as your bike, put antena's on them or fuzzy stuff, might be fun who knows?   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/02/02 10:54 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159331 noxqsays (User) Why did I move to FL from MI?

You can get a three pack at Northern Tool for around $5.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #159340 slezy (User) life is short enjoy every minute Platinum Boarder Posts: 2068 Re:hearing protection 3 Years, 3 Months ago   After 25 years in a foundry,And a lot of riding on noisy v-twins ahem..It's not a bad idea to wear e.a.r.'s or other kind sponge ear protection!They knock of 22-24 decibel's there a good idea to wear while riding which can save you the wife yelling later.."you got to have the tv up so loud"   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/02/02 11:49 By slezy.

I find that the wind noise is what is loudest or at least most annoying. Pipes really dont get to you unless they dump near you. I have tinitus too and you wouldn't think I could hear anything over the ringing in my head. Between heavy equipment and crewing on a funny car before hearing defenders my hearing is way long gone. You young guys wear the protection or you will be deaf old dudes like us!   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #159507 fireman922 (User) Chrome won't get ya home, but it will get ya laid. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:hearing protection 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I use the foam plugs since I can get them free from work. My employer is really proactive and wants us to use them whenever we do anything noisy, even at home. I find on long rides I am not nearly as tired feeling at the end of the day after wearing hearing protection. They are something like 26db attenuation and really block the wind noise while letting the wonderful purr of the pipes sound through. I wish I had worn these back in the days of Iron Butterfly concerts.

Sure helps with the wind noise in my 3/4 helmet. Really quiet in my full face, but can still hear traffic and sirens. Quite useful when riding behind someone with loud pipes.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #159634 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2279 Re:hearing protection 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I forgot to mention the fatigue factor. I realized 30 years ago during long multi-state trips on a Honda 450 without a windshield that hearing protection let me end the day feeling less whipped out. Stupidly I didn't wear any at other times when lots of noise was around. I had a big hearing test that went on for hours in a sound proof booth. I come out and say how did I do. Guy says "been around much heavy machinery". Yes, I said "huh?"   Logged     http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
