[dsn_klr650] hearing going bad

By all means use ear plugs if you are sensitive to the frequency and volume of riding, even for short trips. Be selective with you ear protection though, you don't want to miss the honking cagers. I lost most of my hearing in a, ummm, "shooting event" in the early seventies and I miss it. If you can avoid loosing yours take heed. THANKS BILL!
