Did my first Iron Butt Ride on Friday, it was the Lake Michigan 1000 ride.  Put on 1103 miles in just a little over 19 hours.  The highlight of the trip was going over the Mackinac bridge, the winds we blowing a bit so traffic was reduced to just 30mph while going over the bridge.  I was so busy enjoying the views I was wishing we could go even slower!  While the ride was enjoyable it got a little boring at times and even with ear plugs in the exhaust noise and wind (helmet) buffeting were getting to me at the end.  Any ideas out there on how to reduce the wind buffeting?  Are lowers the answer?  On my bike with my wind screen I find at speeds below 60mph if I flip my visor open the buffeting and helmet noise are dramatically reduced but about 60 my open visor starts catching air and jerks my head around.
