Only when the windshield is off (almost exclusively around town when its warm. Shield is always on when I'm on the freeway). Wind noise is just too painful, and I have friends who are nearly deaf because they wont wear ear protection.

I've got a couple of custom molded ones I got from the Intl Moto Show, http://www.fit-ear.com, premium version, $60+ tax for each pair at the show.

I do when I am on the freeway, ride seems more mellow without all of the air buffeting in my ears.

Thanks,
