Ear plugs and bullshit

[bogan]

they post on here every now and then. they travel around a bit

also kiwiplugs for the lower north, who iirc do a DIY kit which can be sent anywhere, though I reckon it's well worth the trip to waikanae to get him to do em if you can make it; and presumably also worth getting P4L to do same if you can.

Some of the best money I've spent too, don't know how I could ever ride my 2T mx bike without em now. Comfy enough to sleep with em in too.

Hey Gremlim, Where to buy these PLUGZ 4 LUGZ ? Thank you

They are members on KB, and regularly post where they will be: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/me...3-Plugz-4-Lugz

Alternatively, contact them. Last few years they've been at Paeroa, and attend other events as well.

Perhaps you should start a side business and sell them to us in a box with 10 or 20 so that we dont have to buy them from overseas ( ebay )

Yeah. Thought about that...

[bluninja]

Eh?

I use these and find them exceptionally good. You can adjust the attenuation to suit your needs.

I use these as well love them, easy to put in and comfy, probably not as much noise reduction though

Kiwiplugs I use, I have used the Pluz for Lugz audio plugs but found for the same $$$$ Dave at Kiwi will give you 2 sets ( audio/non audio) always handy to have a backup, wouldn't leave home without them now that I have them for 4-5yrs

I need earplugs on my bike; when we did the cape trip I was using them but the bastards kept falling out no matter how I jammed them in, I think I have weird ears. Been trying some different styles but might just have to bite the bullet and get some custom ones made.
I find that with my shitty helmet the wind noise and exhaust noise are usually at around the same level; really fucking loud.

If they are falling out it usually means you aren't putting them in properly, probably because no one has shown you. This video is very boring, but shows you how to fit them properly.

I bought a pair of plugs for lugs, 4 years ago. Bets money I have spent.

Moulded to fit my ears, and comfy. They never fall out, when I put helmet on.

And I can get as many pairs of ear plugs I need for free, from work.

Yup i did the same about 3 years ago and wondered why i hadn't done it before.
Fit like a glove and never fall out. Awesome things they are!

Yep, ear buddies are good. Or pop into your local rock shop and get some musician plugs. They are good too.

And as others have said, it is the wind noise not the bike noise that ruins your hearing.

[Big Dave]

I use some nice senheisers and a rockin' playlist.

[JimmyC]

I use 3M Skull Screws.

Do you have to trim the ends off those so the helmet doesn't push them in too much?

No. When I first got my helmet, it was a tight fit and my ears got quite painful after about 30 minutes with those earplugs from the large amount of pressure from the helmet. After a few weeks once the helmet loosened up and moulded to the shape of my head, I no longer had that problem and the plugs fit comfortably under the lid now. These plugs are very durable, and once there's an ear wax build up I simply wash them in warm water with a bit of soap and they're as good as new.

i cant afford a loud helmet.

You can't afford a bag of chips and $5.

I used 3M ones that dad borrowed from work. They worked fine, but didn't last. I would ideally need a pair every day (they get dirty easy).

I bought a pack from Hamilton motorcycles, came with a little case to help keep them cleaner. But they didn't fit as well, kept falling out.

Until I pulled my outter ear up when inserting it. Now they stay in. But they don't block out as much noise as I would like. I'll give plugz4lugz a go next time I see them (boxing day if they go to Wanganui).
