It seemed like they were in there pretty deep. He had to dig pretty hard to get them out.
I guess Tomac doesn't care about his teeth like Baggett does.

Hearing Damage.
My lap times on Sunday were 2 seconds faster on a 2 minute lap with a set of earbuds that seal in my ear playing music. It's a similar effect with a good set of foam-rubber earplugs.
With the earplugs I still feel like I can hear other riders around, but the music drowns everything out.
Perhaps you should update the pipe picture in your avatar... two strokes are great, but banning 4 strokes? You must be high.

plugs eliminate much of the background white noise and let you concentrate on your own motor noise.
try plugs this weekend and thank Tomac.
I gave it a shot, and HOLY COW, it just makes the entire experience so much better. For the long rides, it somehow cuts down on rider fatigue. You can hear your own bike so much better, and it creates an overall calming effect.
I like the sound of a good running bike as much as anybody, but it really is a different, and BETTER experience with ear plugs.
Pit Row
Many times at work I wear ear plugs where I don't have to because of all the fans and water pumps running. I swear I can understand someone talking to me easier in that environment with plugs in.
I may try this.
That, and I was wearing a new helmet where the pads weren't "muffling" my ears so to speak. I will be wearing them next time I ride.
Why does ANYONE wear ear plugs?!?
It's not only the bike noise but also the wind noise in the helmet that can cause damage to the hearing. I have Alpina custom made earplugs for a while now. I never ride without them, road or offroad.
