"with conversation at the end."
That's an admirable desire.  Especially about 40 years after you started riding and the Doc tells you that the hearing loss that you have was probably caused by continuous exposure to loud noses.  Then he asks what you do that could have exposed you to such noise.  Hard not to feel foolish when you have to admit you have rode for years with open pipes on your scoots.   Being half deaf really sucks big time.  I will never run open pipes again.  While I am on the soap box, another major cause of hearing loss is the continuous wind popping in your ears if you ride a lot without a helmet.  Another good reason to always ware the skull bucket.


i agree,i am 49 almost 50 and i have a slight continuous ringing in my ears.im sure it wasnt loud music although ive listened to my share over the ears.i firmly believe it is wind noise because i wear a bowl type helmet and my ears have been exposed to the wind all these ears.i now wear earplugs.
Hate to hijack a thread, but ringing in the ears is my problem also (tinnitus) I've been threatening to start a thread on it for some time, so now I will. I'll post the link once its done.

I ordered mine (along with about $1500 in other stuff) from Carpy the other day.   Can't wait to get this bike all together.  I miss riding. :(  Wish I hadn't sold my 550 till the 750 was done.
