Just make sure you dont pick mine up on a ride out by mistake cause it wont taste like bee honey all though it may look like it :lol::lol:

All ways wear them,just so I can`t hear myself talking to myself,"what did you say?""Come on then if you want some!""Alright then outside..............................."

Always used 'em and now swear by the rubber ones (Quiet) made by Howard Leight. No more sqidging the foam around to get in. By 'em in bulk and they're cheap as chips.

Yep highly recommended u either going to get tinnitus or not if u not has it for years u probably wont. My dad rode for years never got it I rode for one year on my first bigish bike a vfr400 and have had it since, mines bot so bad yet the noise in the office is loud enough so i dont noitce it but when its quiet u hear this light rining/buzzing very annyoing.

I do have a hearing loss as well inherited from my Mum so maybe a weakness there, so now i always wear them:D

I use howard leight ones laser light flo pink/yellow

Top tip rather than licking them u vaseline for a real tight seal avalible in little tins:D

I've been using them since I started riding. I occasionally ride for 5 mins or so without them in every now and then so I can hear the engine and to check if there's any strange noises going on. Then I pop a pair back in (always have about 6 pairs dotted in my leathers, on the bike, up my ar$e, wherever).

After having tried countless pairs, I now swear by Soft FX, they have a great db reducing rate. Get them from here: http://www.earplugs.gb.com/index.html

If it's your first time, they do a trial pack of all 21 differnet designs, good way of working out which ones fit your ear'oles the best.
