I never did untill last year when i went on a 9 hr ride, with my new bigshots when i got home it took me two days to hear normal, i went as far as getting custom ones made, made same ride last month and wow what a difference, no wind or blasting made ride alot more enjoyable, you young guys will pay dearly down the road,

Hell yah. Plugs or ipod with inner plugs when I remember. Sucking your ear drums in just doesn't do it good enough. I want to hear music, speach, movies, etc. in another 10 - 15 years. And permanent ringing must suck. How macho is that? If every gun range requires it, and you believe that and practice it there, why wouldn't you think it makes sense on a loud bike? This is not the same as helmets. Helmet or not + accident = ??? Decibels + time = damage.

ORIGINAL: Bluerose

Do and don't.....depends on the ride. The longer the ride the more likely I am to wear them.
Same here

I wear them and also buy them by the box of 200. Don't want to spend my later
years saying, "Huh? What was that?".
