    Fusion, there are 2 common problems causing this for bike riders.

    1) It's your conscience mate, notice it was louder over the long weekend? That's due to double demerits buddy.

    2) Could just be windnoise, check if eminating from your Septum, if so re-adjust cocaine usage or keep the rig under 90klms.

    Glad to help....
