I can personally tell you that riding a motorcycle without fairing or helmet at high speeds is also not pleasant. The wind gets annoying quickly, there is an ear defending noise and getting a mosquito in your eyes at 100 miles per hour is definitely painful.

    I used to giggle at the riders with their snoods in the middle of summer.

    "Who needs a scarf in summer" I'd chortle.

    Then I hit a bee with my throat at, we'll say the speed limit. Now I ride with a snood even in the middle of summer. I'm 'vizor up' till at least 50mph, still haven't learned that lesson.

    Bees really don’t sting that much.

    The first time I was ever stung was in the throat when I hit a whole swarm at speed.

    You don’t want a rock from an oncoming vehicle into the eye…. So I recommend glasses if you like no visor/visor up.
