Well, as someone who's ears are akin to those of Clark Gable's, "frankly" I've noticed that the few times I've ridden without a helmet on this ol' noggin o' mine, the aerodynamics of my outer auditory membraines have INCREASED the roar of the wind the faster I ride to such a degree that it becomes a nuisance to ride without one, and especially on a cold day or night when these babies o' mine are flappin' in that cold air it REALLY can give me such a friggin' headache you wouldn't believe.
So, I find it much more comfortable to ride wearing at least an open-face helmet, than nothing at all. And, as counter-intuitive as this may seem to some people, I've also found that whether the weather is cold OR hot, that the fatigue-factor is greatly reduced while wearing a brain-bucket also.
Cheers,
Dwight
