I watched the whole 4 minutes

I love accents!

Hey Ranger how do you feel about having no wind protection? My windscreen isn't helping much, I am so short that all the wind just gets buffered to my head. I am going to have to take if off and see how it feels

It's actually not bad. The only time it sucks is when the wind is blowing.

I have a feeling that my windscreen on my VFR isn't directing the air above my head or above my shoulders. I think I've always had the wind in my face so I'm used to it. I rode over 700 miles to get home and that's including high winds and rain. The main thing is to make sure your helmet fits TIGHT. I thought my help was tight until hours in the wind. My face getting smashed by the helmet wasn't much fun.

I am used to getting blasted by wind on the dual sport and it doesn't bother me, but even at lower speeds, the SV felt worse because its concentrated blasting at my head. Yeah I did have a bit of helmet smashing too, it was drying out my contacts.

I sit straight up so my whole body gets the wind. Its actually more comfortable then just your head getting the blast. I see sport riders all tucked down on their sports even when the wind isn't blowing that bad and here I am riding my VFR likes its a scooter. LOL
