ear plugs - do you / don't you & why ?

[rufus t glasgow]

I tried without when I first started riding, but even with the Shoei XR-1000 which is supposed to be a quiet lid, I found the noise too tiring.

I use the Howard Leicht foam plugs at the moment, but I'm thinking of getting some of these "mould your own" ones someday.

After grahamm's recommendation I tried out a pair of these. I must admit I was a bit skeptical but they done a great job of cutting out the wind noise, espically on the motorway.I never felt cocconed at ant point I could still hear the bike.


I will be using ear plugs from here on in.
