Thread: Earplugs when using motorbike

@Delphus

I use the Pinlock plugs every day, and have been for about three years now.

They're comfortable and easy to use, they also allow you to still use a Sena/Cardo type helmet comms system as they allow the higher pitch noises through, I can easily have phone conversations with mine at 100km/h.

A windscreen also helps if the correct help, either have one that is pretty much up to eye level or higher, or none at all, a half height one can blow the air straight into the helmet making it worse. I have a big Givi one and it makes riding it easier as you're not fighting the wind, and also 10-15% improvement on fuel economy, I don't care how it looks.

FFS, don't get a peaked helmet just because they look cool, I've used both the Shoei Neotec and GT-Air and they're about on par with each other noise wise.

Most sports bike riders don't understand as they don't have the upright riding position which causes the increase in wind noise.
