Two words: Ear Plugs - or maybe it's just one word, earplugs. Who knows.
Having just returned from the WCC, my journey home was only about 325 miles (small in comparison to others). The wind noise, road noise, engine noise etc can get so tiresome on a long trip. Put in a set of earplugs and you will swear that you just got into a modern car. The transformation is unbeliveable. And I guarantee that after an hour or two when you remove them you won't believe the racket that your car makes. You will think there is something wrong with the car because it is so noisy! Earplugs made my 5.5 hour trip home a breeze. Even after spending a whole day at the track. Without them it would have been a very fatiguing drive home. Demick |

When I was riding every day, I bought from these guys:
Northern Safety They only sell by the "box", which is 200 pair, and one box is only $20. I bought two boxes, and still have some from the second box after several years. If you only use these on long trips, you'll find one box will last you for years. I also found myself using them in the garage regularly whenever I was doing something noisy. I have a pair of "muffs" for this, but find the earplugs are often more comfortable if I'm going to wear them for 2-3 hours at a run. Having lots on hand discourages you from reusing them, esp. when they're only a dime a package. |
