I do...I order 'em by the box of 200..but I've always been used to them with woodworking and riding, so its second nature to grab them when I grab the lid.


The last couple of evenings I've been cruising the city streets with no plugs, trying to decide if I like the sound of my bike, I can honestly say that I hate it...I didn't sound good stock and now with the new pipes its annoying without the plugs...but it sounds great when I wear them.

so I'm curious, how many of you wear plugs? Do you wear them all the time or just on the highway?

 

No plugs here. Unless I want to hear tunes...

 

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

 

Anubisss, those side shots have to be loud....do they make your ears ring?

I'm assuming in California that both of you wear a lid?...what kind?...does it echo?//echo?

 

I've worn them a few times. At first I resisted, because I thought it would be hard to hear the radio, but it didn't affect that at all! It just reduced the wind. Very nice, less ringing at the end of the ride.....

 

I wear a 3/4.....no echo. Always wear ear plugs in the wind and on long rides. (wind gives me ear aches)

 

i wear them if i'm gonna be on the freeway for more than a 45min stretch. it's the helmet straps that make so much noise form me. when i lived in TX and i didn't wear a helmet, i never used to mind.

 

Now that its cooler I wear my 3/4 more..but it echos, it doesn't fit right..ahh thats another thread

 

Tried 'em and really hated the feeling....

Because it lessened external sounds it felt like it created a sensation where vibes and whatever noice I perceived was conducted through my body then into my head.

Y'all's milage may vary.... but I really didn't like it and it's just one more PITA detail to deal with,I'd rather keep it simple.

 

Yep
