ha ha, all good answers.

Surely there's a speed whereby the wind is being forced higher over your head, or something.

That would be a speed were normal screens are bent back by the force of the wind, which then lowers the height of the air going over you?

To work it out you'd need to know hydrodynamics, you'd probably need to use navier stokes equations -- good luck!

If he inadvertently ends up solving the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, do you think he'll share the $1,000,000 he'll get from the Clay Institute? Laughing.

I did back-to-back top-speed runs with stndard and double-bubble screens, and the mph was exactly the same at 194mph. The difference was that behind the DB screen was an oasis of calm compared to the wind-rush and buffeting of the stock screen.

They aren't just fashion accessories - they really do some useful work.
