Re: When riding do you wear ipod or ear plugs

No I want to hear the traffic around me plus I don't like things in my ears. I'm sensitive I don't(well rarely) listen to the radio in my truck either.

It is illegal to have ear buds in while riding.

Pretty good article on noise-induced hearing loss and motorcycling.

I think it varies by what state you're in. CA allows one ("Helmet Speaker" aka ear phone or ear bud).

I wear ear plugs. Especially for trackdays or commuting. The only time I don't wear them is if I'm doing a short run to the store or some place nearby where I live.

Ipod for long rides when I am by myself. Nothing if I am just shooting around town. Ear-pro at the track.

Mp3 player with the volume low enough to hear the music and the traffic around me.
