Certainly cheaper than the ones you can buy at shows and race meets

I have a the Ultimate ear ones, including the ones with speakers in. Fantastic, but really pricey.
For the very cheap cost of the R&G ones I'd say it was worth a shot.

And Ultimate Ear are based in Sidcup, North Kent, Staff

Cheeky sod, I do already have a custom set that I bought at Thruxton earlier in the year.
I misplaced them for a couple of weeks and was somewhat pi**ed off because of the cost, just thought that next time I'd give these a go.

Anyway, have you actually ridden your bike at all this year Shandy?

Yes yes i know, i've not used the bike much this year, back and forward to Bath half a dozen or so times for work, auto italia day, but then hey ho got a puncture..........:toilet:

The DIY option is a novel idea.

Wonder how long before someone tries that with a tube of bath sealant from Wicks?

Why do you have to wear earplugs anyway? I like the sound of my engine (when it's going!!).

Oh, BTW, in case the first reply is 'so I can't hear the wife', that's not funny!! ;)

I did find them after about two weeks, stuck in the lining of a pocket after I'd got absolutely drenched riding home from Didcot a few Thursdays ago. So wet the camera is now dead and phone took a week of drying out to recover.

Yes it is!

Liz,
Very clear evidence that any travel without earplug can be damaging to your ears so always try and use tehm, secondly, with a REALLY LOUD bike I can hear mine aplenty anyway ! :)

Yeah there's been a bit of that wet stuff about lately.....................could just be your age and you forgot where you put them and didn't loose them at all............;)
