Those expressions are priceless indeed!
"I DID IT DAD!"

I commend Dad for thinking way ahead. If only we had known and payed proper attention to those precious ears!

Take care of your Ears, there is nothing that will replace the losses from excessive noise, not even the most technologically advanced hearing aids!
Voice of experience and one who suffers those losses, nearly all could have been prevented with proper hearing protection.

I put my nine year old son on my D2 and let it crawl along at idle and the look on his face was shear terror. Half an hour later i couldn’t get him off it. He was totally decked out with ear muffs and glasses and gloves. Noise had too be louder than a jumbo jet to put hearing protection on for my generation. Good to see some young fellas wanting to have a go on those old machines.
