Use the soft rubber grip from a disposable writing pen found at any store that carrys office/school supplies. Make sure its soft. Study the lines on mine they are a continuous pattern. These are comfortable! Cut the grip in half after removing it form the pen and push these helpful babies onto your earbuds. trim down for size preference, but be careful not to cut to much, because it's the overhang that holds these in your furry little ears I count five lines and cut there. Cuts the wind and these just stay on under your helmet even when sweatin' buckets.
 
Been pulled over a couple of times and pulled the earbuds out while the officer approached. I got the speeding tickets, but never a word about the music.
 
And get a ticket when the cops pull you over
Depends where you are. In Maryland you can have earbuds, but can have music coming from only one side. Some twit thought that it would let you hear what's going on better that way. In Pennsylvania you are not allowed to wear hearing protection at all, although wearing a helmet to protect your head is optional. Not sure about other states.
 

Something here doesn't sound right here to me (excuse the pun). If your local laws say you cant have music playing in ear phones, is the hearing impairment any worse than a Harley rider with straight through pipes and a skull cap or gangster wannabe's with a car 1000w sound system on full bore so the rear window vibrates.
 
So are deaf people not allowed to ride? What if you have blocked ears? Or does the hearing rule only apply to people who actually can hear? ie if you can hear you must hear. That's just plain ***n stupid (and/or discrimination).
 
Hey! I didn't say it made sense, it just is what it is. Your government hear (sic) to protect you.
