Show Notes

As the wind rushes past you while riding your motorcycle, the sights, smells and sounds all play a part in the experience and thrill of the ride.

On this episode, we are joined by Michael Carley, a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath and Paul Jobin, CEO and founder of Snugs custom earplugs.
