In the Wind.........
Not quite what I had in mind. 25 mile ride on the interstate to work, it was 45˚ at 7AM, so I rode to work. The wind was gusting so hard and shifting so much, that I was actually scared. It was shaking my Road King around, and blowing me around as well. Fortunately I was able to keep it in my lane, but man it was not really much fun. I did not feel like I was really in control of the bike; it was more like hanging on for dear life with numb tingling hands. Fun stuff for sure....... 
Last warm day for a while though, so I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Something about wind advisories and all that sort of thing. My buddy lost the elevated sign and the front door of his business today. I hate to think what it would have been like riding the Sportster! Wind on the highway is why I got the big bike in the first place. 
Hope everyone is safe.
Big bike show in KC tomorrow, I think I'll have to drive the car.

Battling the wind means higher speed. Scarier than hell but that's how you beat it.
Slower speeds=pushed around. Been there, done that. 883 Sporty, 45mph wind factor - not to mention the semi's additional effect. Hung on for dear life.
