G'day guys and gals.
It's been a long while since I've visited, but since selling the Busa earlier this year, I just don't get around to it.
A little while back, we had a topic regarding hearing protection whilst riding. Someone posted a link to a French motorcycle police study relating to noise levels experienced during day-to-day riding and high-speed riding. They found that even at 100km/h, the noise level was sufficient to cause hearing damage. As speed increased, the dB level increased dramatically. Keep this in mind.
I personally, along with many other riders I know, never rode without ear plugs. I was fortunate enough to have my work pay for a custom set (at a cost of around $180). These, if you are interested, are moulded to form a perfect fit. You even forget you're wearing them. They are available from any audiologist (anyone who can make hearing aids). One company in Melbourne who make specialised riding hearing protection are: Hearing Tech
If this is a bit extreme, I have set up an e-bay shop in which I plan to build up a small range of Occupational Safety Gear. I'm starting with ear plugs just to get used to the e-bay setup and to test the market.
The shop's site is: Pete's E-bay Shop --- Deltech Trading
I can offer Hayabusa Club members a 10% discount on the total sale price (postage direct to you included) when purchasing hearing protection from this site. Please include your login name/member number in an e-mail and just pay 10% of the final price. (There will be a section in the checkout to add in a seller discount).
