Everyone I tell that story to automatically thinks it's loud pipes. In reality it's the wind noise that was far more damaging.
I agree "EXPENSIVE", but those trips / rides can't be replaced by taking the same route in a car or flying to the destination.

I always keep multiple packs of earplugs stashed on the bikes.
