I wore earplugs fior the first time on a streetbike this morning for my trip out and back to Cabela's.

The lack of wind noise was nice as well as it did seem to be less tiring.

I did find myself riding faster than normal. I'm not sure if this is good thing or not

Same thing happened to me the first time I rode with ear plugs. I was riding way faster than normal...till I got used to it.

Yep, now it just feels slower.

I can hear more from the engine with them in.

I wear them everytime I ride. They took some getting use to at first but now I hear the engine better and do not get as fatiqued after long rides. I tend to forget to put them in though before putting my helmet on. Duh!

I don't ride without ear plugs...the wind noise gives me a monster headache otherwise....and it's not worth risking my hearing over something as stupid as being stubborn about taking the 10 seconds to put them in before I get on the bike.

I want a set of these custom ear molds that I can use with my mp3 player.

I would highly recommend these.

I just recently got a set of custom molds and they are absolutely fantastic. The noise cancellation is amazing and I can still hear everything I need to on my bike. I even wear them at night to sleep now.

I wish I'd gone with the wired ones so I could plug them in to my ipod but I wasn't sure if i'd like them so I didn't want to spend the money.
