Hey, talking about ear plugs, be SURE you go to U-Tube and learn HOW to put them in right.

Almost 100% of the time, when I see someone with plugs, they are in wrong. ACtually they are not even in. They are often half out or more.

NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE in 2 motorcycle clubs I ride in EVER puts them in right so they are rendered pretty much USELESS!!

After years of riding, shooting and working in noisy environments, my hearing is very bad. I always wear hearing protection when I ride. I just wish I did this when I was younger.

Hi Dennie-E-I-E-O.

Pretty much 100% of the time I see people use foam ear plugs (including today) they are in wrong so they are rendered pretty much useless.

Here is a GOOD video on how to do it properly. Just click
.

G'd luck mate.

Oh, I use Flents Quiet Time NRR 33. <-- 33 is excellent!

You are welcome dennie-i-e-o, I do not know why but it so bothers me when I see people with half or even three quarters of the foam earplugs sticking out of their ears. But lately for some reason it does not bother me as much. I just feel bad for people think they are actually benefiting from earplugs.

If I might say a little bit more on the matter, almost 100% of the time when I bring it to someone's attention, they really did not want to hear it. LOL in the next time I see them it is hanging out just as far. Anyway….Life goes on…

I should put a movie together starring me. LOL!
