We've had 40-60 mph winds here in NM this week, and I ride to work everyday. It hasn't went over yet.

I think it will take more than that to knock it over, Here in TX this type of wind has been common lately and hasnt knocked mine over yet.

Yea, I would leave the cover on. With the wind blowing like it is, the last thing you want is some junk hitting your bike! I seen you were from nesquehoning and figured I would throw a shot out! I'm hoping the rain lets up tomorrow for demo days at Schaeffer's HD. I plan on riding a few!

Yea they are probably the best around! They always have something going on. Can't wait until the 25th when they have the raffle for that streetglide, I have a few tickets. That streetglide looks awesome in person!
