Anyone have a good insurance agent around West MI? I'm looking to start shopping around. House, garage, barn, trucks, cars, boat, jetskis, RZR, dirt bikes, etc. I'm interested in moving it all. Since moving to my new house this past fall, my insurance has almost doubled. My agent tells me it's because I'm in Kent county now, but I'd like to check that against a few other places.

I need to do the same thing, if your not shopping for insurance every couple of years you are going to be robbed. Insurance companies are a racket.

I kind of thought this too, but after shopping around earlier this summer for the first time in like 5 years I came to the conclusion that the prices for me were all the same/worse than what I currently had.

I keep looking to switch away from Progressive, then I get a quote for someone else.

My YJ is full coverage for $52/6 months and my JK is $93/6 months as "pleasure vehicles". Our DDs are each like $100/month though, but I do carry the most expensive options for insurance that they offer.

Does anyone here have special ear buds for racing? I'm looking at getting some for wearing under my helmet, but not sure what will be best. I came across a brand called "Snugs" and I'm actually liking them the best; not just because they're one of the cheapest options, but because you can buy replacement ear buds that snap into the molded ear plugs. Any feedback is appreciated.

I have a lot of different ear protection, I've probably tried literally everything. I'm easily bothered by things in my ears, my wife says I treat my ears like a lot of people treat their feet/shoes.

It's difficult to beat a 3M TEP-300 but then you need a separate adapter to run comms easily. There are plenty of others out there that are native bluetooth but none of them beat a TEP-300 for size and comfort. When frolicking I use them with a pair of dual downlead Comtac VII. They are the best for naturally talking and naturally dealing with outside noise. It's easy to forget you have them in.

If you want to go cheaper, I have a few sets of Walker Silencer BT 2.0 I like. They're kind of bulky and don't do a great job of figuring out what to cut out. The Restrictor BT does a way better job, but I feel like the stereo hearing is a bit off. My beef with Walker stuff is that it is definitely designed for people who already have hearing loss. When I put them on their lowest setting, it's still louder than what I would hear naturally.

Thank you for the feedback, but neither of those options is practical for racing with how far they stick out of the ear. I wouldn't be able to put a helmet on

It was more of a mention that you start high and the lower you go the poorer the performance dependent upon wants. If you don't care about picking up ambient noise, I used to use EARinc custom wired ones in my brain bucket. Just plug it in directly to your radio.

I forgot to take any pics, but we had a great weekend with some friends up north. Went to the dunes Friday afternoon, left from there for Rocks n Valleys for Great American Crawl on Saturday, back to SLSD for boating Saturday afternoon, then spent Sunday on the dunes.

I added a Razorback infrared belt temp gage to my RZR a couple weeks ago. Some people think they are a waste of money, but I thought it was awesome to be able to see belt temps in real time and monitor what was going on. I'm ready to change some clutching and see what it does to the temps
