I'm voting psychotic experience, if it is your pipes. I starting wearing ear plugs same as most everyone else because of the wind noise. Plus I think my hair was turning Blond. Tremendous (?) difference with plugs installed, now hair is just turning gray.
I love the sound of the pipes but the wind noise killed me. I tried earplugs but it blocked out too much. At the local dealership i found what they call a speed sock...it's kinda like a doo rag but its made out of t-shirt material and has elastic around the rim. Its perfect...its blocks out all the wind but not the sound of the pipes.

What kinds of plugs are people using? Just cheapo disposible ones? I saw a guy at the last bike show making custom earplugs...worth it?
I have several pairs from Etymotic Research www.etymotic.com I use the ER6i when I listen to the radio on the bike and the ER20 is greatfor just reducing background noise.
I try'ed some yesterday had trouble hearing the wife through the head set. Dont know if this is a bad thing not being able to hear her. So I dont wear them
