Okee-Dokee!!! I'm Back from my run and I loved it.
I learned something this evening...the lesson being...as far as street level windscreens are concerned???...the windscreen industry shoul've left the phrase "Double Bubble" to the chewing gum folks as what i always suspected after running several dub bubs on my previouse bikes the flip lip touring windscreens have many advantages in the street as follows...
For years now I've suspected that the DUAL PROFILE of the dub bub designs out there forces the winds to vortice against themselves as it sheers off the windscreen at two different angles....this causes disruption and the associated buffeting of the two airflows against each other..which in turn gives that "Fluttering Sail Wind Roar" and relays disrupted buffeting breezes unto the rider...who if they are not in A TIGHT FULL TUCK also get to endure windblast to the shoulders since the dub bub designs I've encountered protect the helmeted head in a full tuck but leave much to be desired on the outermost portions of the upper body...especially if your a broad shouldered kinda guy like myself...this evenings ride with my new Puig Touring sorta re-affirmed those suspicions.
I immediately noticed the Puig Touring was far quieter than any recent dub bubs I've been using, afforded far greater wind protection and the air that was sheering off the top of it's single profile flip-lip was presented in the form of extremely smooth and consistant airflow...no disrupted buffeting...no sials fluttering in the breeze wind roar....just smooth, consistant and almost silent airflow.
Observation Speeds ranged between 60-120.....I wore my JR Pheonix Mesh Jacket to better feel body windblast and the faster I went the better the Puig Touring worked...at general flow of traffic speeds of 80...in what I could best describe as a "Relaxed Tuck"....once my helmet got it's lower 1/2 below the top of the windscreen???...(which btw didn't take much tucking)....my upper boddy literally fell into the bubble and the full single profile screen had my broad shoulders fully protected from any windblast as well.
It's Smooth, It's Clean, It's Quiet and It Works....and???....I couldn't be happier!!!
