Keep laughing until your ears start ringing. You are completely clueless on this one. It is the wind that damages the cilia in your ear canals and PERMANENTLY damages your hearing. Ask any of us old timers. Tinnitus is NOT funny. The use of earplugs has NOTHING to do with how loud your pipes are.
Seriously, when she rides it is with a full helmet and custom ear plugs. I have a set too she insisted I have her make but I never wear them.
Reread the OP there Barney.

Apparently so! I paid more attention to the subsequent posts than to the OP. You are quite right. I seem to be losing my eyesight as well as my hearing. Touche!

Yeah, it seems I was having a "senior moment." I think we're all on the same page.

I hope your eyesight holds out at least 20-30 more riding seasons.
Is that a factory color ? Years back I took a glass of purple kool aid to a paint store to mix me some that matched my favorite flavor. I think it was a little lighter than your though. I like it. Hopefully your failing eyesight does not make it a purple haze !!
I actually am going to start wearing my glasses at nite now, getting old can suck.

I wear ear plugs 100% of the time when I ride, I wear earplugs when I use any power tool or when cutting the grass...trying to save what hearing I have left.

And you're right that aging sucks. As my 87 year-old mother says, "Growing old ain't for sissies."
