I don't know if any ones done wind tunnel testing but there is a school of thought that says that aerodynamically speaking leg hairs will help stabilise the boundary layer leading to a more laminar flow and less drag (or words to that effect).. Which reminds me of a strange conversation I had with a woman in a cafe who insisted on telling me that her boyfriend went for the full back, crack and sac to reduce chaffing. Quite put me off my sausage roll. Sharkskin has similar properties, it's very coarse at a micro level and that apprently helps reduce drag due to less turbulence. My boss used to powerboat, and they'd spend hours polishing the hull to a mirror shine, not sure if it ever helped. Overly technical article to illustrate my point... rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/368/1929/4775.full

Nope (unless you are a regular crasher),

I'm losing enough from my head so I'm not prepared to give up any more of this ever increasingly rare commodity

I find as I get older it doesn't get any rarer it just repositions itself to areas where it is not wanted.

Well I'm rocking a reverse Mohican by default now. So does that make me aerodynamic?

I've made a decision, when I'm 85 kg it's coming off !

Ok, I did it a couple of time last summer, with the help of my wife. She learned to me how to use strips! The reason is totaly ahestetic, nothing else! ;-)

Just a benchmark - I will have achieved all my weight loss goal and that's the time, as reckon I'll be at optimum by then with legs like granite, which is part of the deal IMO !
