Could be the chin bar vent is blowing at/up your nose causing that feeling. Try closing it to see if there's a difference.

I flip up my face shield early and often when wearing my modular to scratch nose, eyes, whatever I can reach, which is also why I like the modular so I an flip up the whole front to get to stuff I can't otherwise reach.

Inside or outside (you nose) One needs to be clear when they discuss serious issues like this.

Amplio rhinitis nasus can be a serious problem.

harleys are meant to be ridden straight up, so if you are trying to get all the speed you can and face down on the tank, i would switch to ethanol free fuel!

X2 on the nose hair. You either have to keep it trimed low or let it grow into your mustache. Anything in-between is asking for trouble.

I've had the same thing on different bikes and different helmets. I think it's a vibration thing related to helmet fit and buffeting, even if it doesn't feel like you're getting much wind.

I've mentioned this phenomena to other people and nobody knows what I'm talking about. They think I'm crazy, lol. I may be crazy (no comments from BuzzCap please) but it's good to know somebody else has experienced this.
