Tristan nailed it (and I'm not talkin' pigs). Regardless of which helmet you wear, it's not quiet enough to prevent hearing loss. Find the helmet that fits you best, and fork out the *Washington* for a set of ear plugs. A couple of years down the road, you'll be thankful you did. I SAID, YOU'LL BE THANKFUL YOU DID!
I once offered a set to a guy on a twin, and he declined them saying that he couldn't hear the rumble of his pipes (cuz' twins are supposed to make yer ears bleed!).
I didn't wear ear plugs for a long time, and now I have to ride around with a 'hearing ear dog.' It's not so bad until that bastard starts chasing cars!
