I've done quite a lot of long distance riding (i.e. 1000 to 2000 mile trips)
over the past ten years and I've found that when I don't have my earplugs
in I spend more time concentrating on positioning my head to reduce the wind
noise than I do enjoying the ride.  Foam earplugs reduce the wind noise to
a minimum but still allow the sounds of traffic and the awesome purr of my
Kawasaki 1100 engine to come thru just fine!
