What do you call the rush of air you experience when riding on a motorcycle or in a speed boat?
I want to say breeze, but that is caused by the wind, not the movement of the vehicle.
Update: I am not looking for a technical term. I want to express this:
Riding my Harley, I felt the NOUN in my hair.

As far as I know, there is no distinction made between air motion caused by natural means, air motion caused by mechanical means, and air motion experienced due to the observer being in motion while the air stands still; they're all "wind" or "breeze" or "gale" or "gust" or "zephyr" or "scirocco" or whatever other word suits the velocity of the air.
