Who wears earplugs? Cheap plugs.......

[Volvi]

I had a hearing test a few years ago. After the results came in the Doc asked me whether I had worked in a factory environment for some years as the test showed a loss of hearing of about 30%. I replied that I had never worked in a noisy environment and couldnt account for the loss of hearing, unless my disco days count. Only later it dawned on me with all my years of riding with a helmet and the wind noise, must have contributed to the loss. I never wore plugs bar once or twice on long distance interstate rides.

But frankly I still dont bother with plugs, love to hear the engine and pipes, even when screaming, but thats the last thing you think about at warp speeds. Tho have to admit those warp speed days are fewer and fewer with all these tax collectors. Ironically its at warp speeds one is less likely to be caught, but am not looking forward to even the first time.
