    Re: Question- Do you ride with Earplugs?

    Any new news on this??

    The guy I was talking to at Ear, Inc said the custom ones take about 10 days to 2 weeks to get....summer is here and my cheapo orange plugs suck!

    Re: Question- Do you ride with Earplugs?

    One downside to using ear protection. I'm so much happier "cruising" at 80-90mph on the highway, vs. with no earplugs. With no plugs the windnoise is so high, it's almost painful. With plugs, even going 100+ is just like a walk in the park, smooth gentle "flying" down the road, it's very Zen-like.

    So yes, I'm blaming my next big speeding ticket on earplugs, lol!

    No worries, my phone didn't want to copy the quote, but I was just trying to respond to your interest list.

    I'm interested too, but it all depends on the price.

    Blue foamy hearos do the trick for me, but my wife could really use a custom pair, so +1 for me on a group buy!

    Re: Question- Do you ride with Earplugs?

    Alright ladies and gents, here's the deal. After going back and forth with Andrew (the main rep) and making it clear from the get go we were looking for a group discount, he dropped it in the lap of an independent rep. He did not give her full disclosure and let her know that we were looking for the discount. So when I talked with her (she is very nice and helpful btw) I made her aware and she talked with Andrew. Andrew told her that they don't really do discounts. So on her own accord she will offer the CSC a standing $10 discount. I apologized to her for having it dropped in her lap the way it was. I don't think that was too cool.

    So that's where it's at. Here is her info, she is very nice and actually works out of her husbands motorcycle shop. It's mostly Harleys but hey..

    Edit: She will do 10% off if we get 25 in one sitting.

    If you guys want I'll check with that other company that was posted.

    Re: Question- Do you ride with Earplugs?

    Thanks for doing the leg work Josh, but $10 is just not gonna help me out. I was hoping for 10-15% on the iPlugs, since those are pretty darn pricey as it stands.

    Re: Question- Do you ride with Earplugs?

    Yeah I let her know that most of us were probably looking for a more substantial discount.

    I can look into the other company if there's interest.
