Endurance Racing - Part Two

After the blown engine at Road Atlanta I figured my friends would be rid of the endurance racing "bug" but it turns out I was way wrong on that. They are going to give it another try at the WERA Barber Nationals on September 23rd. Riders this time will be Gill Cutchen, Harry (Mr. Wu), Dave Arkle and Dr. Lee Schmitt. They will be racing Lightweight on a Suzuki SV650. This is a 4 hour endurance race. Sure hope everything goes well.

Equipment review - EARSoft FX hearing protection

Hearing protection is big deal when riding/racing motorcycles. Most modern racing helmets provide excellent protection from head injuries but are lacking in reducing wind noise. To counter this, hearing protection is a must.

I have found the EARSoft brand of disposible earplugs to be the softest, most comfortable on the market but they were lacking in two areas. They are slightly small for my ear canal and are cylindrical in shape. This led to sometimes placing the plug too far into the ear canal making it difficult to remove.

I have solved these problems with the new EARSoft FX earplugs. These are super soft, extremely comfortable and provide tremendous noise reduction. They are also tapered in shape with a flared end. This makes them impossible to push too far into the ear canal and the flared end makes removal a snap.

I get mine in boxes of 200 pair for about $25.00. Two big thumbs up.
