Swamp, I said "apparently"..

Swamp,
BTW, didn't you get a pair of EarMold lug plugs last year?

If anyone is thinking about investing in a pair of these they are brilliant!! But best of all, they're free keep your receipt and get 100% back at tax time..as PPE they're totally tax deductible ..

""""Noise levels under motorcycle helmets
[imghttp://www.isvr.co.uk/graphics/mcyclkph.gif][/img]

Noise levels under motorcycle helmets can be very high. Above about 65 km/h or 40 mph the wind noise generated by the airflow over a motorcycle and rider exceeds the noise from the motorcycle itself. Daily noise exposures of working motorcyclists may regularly exceed 90 dB(A).
We have measured noise levels at the ears of police motorcyclists in a wind tunnel and on the road, with several different helmets and motorcycles. Noise levels in the wind tunnel were similar to those on the road.

Graph - noise levels against speed
The graph above shows some examples of noise levels measured under motorcycle helmets during our tests on the roads. Although both BMW motorcycles were ridden by the same person wearing the same helmet, the noise levels differed. The BMW 1100LT has a windscreen which can be raised and lowered, and the noise levels varied with the height of the windscreen. The Kawasaki was ridden by a different person with a different helmet.

2 years ago Davey and no funny enough I haven't got the reciept

I'll keep an eye out for the little van, then try to park you in the bush, that way DFS can have more time off.
