It’s a NOUN: the action of striking someone or something repeatedly and violently.

EXAMPLE: “the roof has survived the buffeting of worse winds than this.”

Another option to block rain, wind, and bugs

If you're open to another option, The Desert Dawgs often block a lot of updraft winds for riders - and they're really easy, you just slip 'em on over your crash bar (yeah, you gotta have one of those) and can take them off anytime you want (store in saddlebag). They are also the best for keeping rain off your feet and legs! Plain or studded. You can find them here: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/
