Friggin Wind

Is there anywhere in this country where the wind doesn't blow 50 mph every day??

I am so sick of riding and damn near getting blown off the road every day. If there is such a place with no wind I am moving there. I know this isn't Harley related but at least I feel better complaining about it!!

If you want to avoid the wind, don't come to Texas, especially west Texas. Hell it blows all the time here.

Even here in Illinois the wind has been more like Kansas. Except it rains a lot more. We have had wind, rain and cold temperatures more than any spring in the past 100 years.

When the wind here starts hitting 40 mph the dust is bad. In the spring Arizona just blows thru New Mexico.

It's global warming. Stop flushing your toilet and turn out the lights.

I was riding into a 90 mph wind today.

... but then I came to a stop light, and the wind went away.

Get over to Oregon wind is rare. However Rain is common. I would say June to September is great. No rain, no wind and great rides.
