I've never used ones like that.. how good are they from the noise isolation standpoint? The main reason I like the Etymotics so much myself is that the wind noise is almost totally gone with the foam attachment, and even more so with the flanged attachments (though the flanged ones always hurt my ears). I would assume they're pretty good if NASCAR drivers use them.. I can't imagine a race car being even remotely quiet.

When is this trip T? I am right in the middle of moving but after I get done I am going to need to unwind. E-mail me some specifics! I won't be able to check a PM. This going to be a day down, a day at Barber, and a day back? I think I can get free, may even try to get my buddy Bryan to come up and join. We do 300-400 miles a day and made it from the Dragon in NC to AR in one day once although I hurt for 2 days. Our last trip together was a lil over 400 mile loop so we are used to the pain...

Trip is this friday. Leaving here at midnight. Plan is to get to Barber at 10 at the latest. I'd be glad to have some of you guys meet us there and hang out for a bit. We will be leaving at 2 at the latest, depending on how long it takes us to get down there.

Thanks a ton. It's going to be a blast.

G-Rex · 06-02-2009, 04:31 PM

Good luck! I'll be curious to hear how it went once you get back!

t-homo · 06-02-2009, 05:22 PM

I'll probably post about it after I take a good long sleep.

Just a thought on your plan, you definately need to leave extra time on the back end because there is more traffic in the afternoon/night on a Sat than in the morning.

t-homo · 06-03-2009, 12:45 AM

Yeah. We are planning on giving extra time on the way back for traffic, fatigue, etc.

t-homo · 06-05-2009, 10:47 AM

Well, we are leaving tonight at midnight. Did a thorough pre-ride check on the bike last night. got an inverter fitted up under the seat and the chatterbox hardwired to that for power. Everything is 95% ready to go.
