| Just bought a Jackpot and seems to be a great bike except I have never riden a bike with so much wind tubulence. At 50 mph my ears hurt my checks sucked back and I thought I would be blown off the bike. I ordered windshield but was just curious if this is normal with Jackpot? |

Peru, IN | Your cheeks being sucked back isn't due to the wind. It's due to the smile. 
Seriously, is it wind or turbulence? There's a difference. If you're getting bounced around (side to side, back and forth, etc), it's turbulence. If you're just feeling like you're getting pushed off the back of the bike, it's normal. There's nothing to stop the wind. Try the windscreen or slow down below 100. |

What did you come off of? What kind of helmet you using?
Earplugs are important if hearing is, on any ride. My 2cents there. Helmet wise, I bought a new shorty last year and it sure seemed to catch more wind then my old helmet. It had that neet drop down visor and when I rode my TC it catches the buffet that and can whip it around on a bad weather day. Helmet works fine on the Vision.
Safe ridin and congrats on the new Jackpot as well as welcome!

Pittsburgh, PA | A windshield on a jackpot looks about as good as a Hood scoop on a mini van... lol |
