Ha! I guess that makes me really a wimp... I'm selling my Harley because it would be way too much of a pain to put a fairing on it. Cant' even find one to fit it. Looking for a sport tourer...
Suprisingly, I didn't get much buffeting when I rode my Speedy without a shield (70-80mph) or even behind semi's. I got way more with a shield. But it makes a huge difference with cold and rain... and dirt, rocks, bugs, pieces of road gators and other assorted objects that seem to be attracted to motorcyclists....
I guess you dont' ride with earphones, either...<G>
