NoNoise Hearing ProtectorsNoNoise EarplugsDid you know that sound levels can reach 95dB at speeds over 60 mph on a motorcycle, regardless of the helmet you’re wearing.
According to reports, after just 15 minutes at this speed you will suffer permanent hearing damage; damage increases exponentially as speed increases over 60 mph. Hearing damage can result in Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and eventually, total hearing loss. Hearing damage is irreversible.But Twisted Throttle has presented something to combat these issues – NoNoise Motorsport Hearing Protectors.Unlike traditional foam, wax or silicone earplugs, NoNoise Motorsport Hearing Protectors contain precision-tuned, ceramic filter technology. This new, patented technology ensures maximum protection from dangerous levels of engine, wind and road noise - yet allows conversation, sirens and horns to remain clearly audible, without the muffling effect of conventional earplugs.NoNoise filters are formed with a Venturi-shaped sound channel from high-grade ceramic material (zirconium oxide) at very high temperature so their internal aperture surface is perfectly smooth. This results in more precise sound attenuation than plastic filters that have a rough, uneven channel surface.NoNoise Hearing ProtectorsNo Noise construction features that make them comfortable to wear for extended periods:
Silicone-free
Hypoallergenic
Thermoplastic outer construction
Suitable for Motorcyclists of all ages, and re-usable. A cleaning kit is available although NoNoise Motorsport Hearing Protectors can also be washed in warm, soapy water.NoNoise Motorsport Hearing Protectors can be purchased online directly from Twisted Throttle and any of its North American dealers at a retail price of $29.95 per set. Each set includes an aluminum tube for safe storage which can attach to your jacket or keys.
Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory + Steve ’Stavros’ Parrish
byMotos and Friends by Ultimate Motorcycle
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Ultimate Motorcycling’s weekly podcast—Motos and Friends. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Our first segment features the new Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory. Senior Editor Nic de Sena brings us his report on the flagship version of Aprilia’s upright middleweight machine. He gives us insight into whether it’s worth spending the extra money on the Factory version, and also of course, whether this sporting Aprilia is really the motorcycle for you.

The next guest segment of Motos and Friends is brought to you by the faster and most technologically advanced, 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa—one of the most iconic sportbikes ever. Check it out in person at your local Suzuki dealer now, or visit suzukicycles.com to learn more.

In this segment, Associate Editor Teejay Adams chats with (arguably) one of the most interesting Suzuki race riders of all time. the iconic RG500 alongside teammate double World Champion Barry Sheene. The two were almost as famous for their exploits off-track, as for their success on it. Those were the days! Steve also raced the Isle of Man TT for about ten years where he won 13 Silver Replicas, and got a podium finish. His insight into that particular brand of mayhem are fascinating.
But there’s waaay more to Steve Parrish than his motorcycle racing. He is also the most successful Semi-Truck racer ever, and, little known piece of useless trivia—he’s my birthday twin: 24th February. He is a natural entertainer and you can’t miss his recounting of the world’s most entertaining—and arguably terrifying—double-decker bus ride ever. If any of you were actually on that hell-ride then we’d love to hear from you!
