Ear plugs

ONe thing I will say is...with ear plugs in I CANNOT hear the valve train noise on the Buell. Thats not a bad thing either.

Exactly

I like the under water plugs... rubber and slide right in... usually come in a nice case. Work great!

I got a custom pair after going on a 300 mile ride and coming home to ringing ears (damage done). I know it was from the wind noise and not so much the bike. You adjust so you can hear the cagers and anything else you might need. I just wish I could convince my husband to wear them.

I wear them all the time, especially on long trips. Sometimes I forget when I'm going to work but not a huge deal, though I would rather have them in than not.

I had a set a while back. the guy that made mine said he went to shooting events. they make them right on the spot if you don't want them to have earphones put in them.

I'd love to get a pair of custom made ones since my ears are oddly small (from a surgery).

I wear them on longer rides, or to/from work. If I'm just going around town I tend not to especially if I'm running errands. I always feel like a bit of an idiot when I can't hear people talking to me when I'm stopped at lights...but that's actually saved me a time or two.
