Default The Formula

I am a snowbird and will be taking my 2017 ultra limited FLHTKL down to Florida for the first time. Will drive down, stay for month then fly (tickets already bought) back up for the holidays. Then drive the car down with my wife, usually drive straight thru.

Took almost 50 years but since my early 20’s always wanted to take a long bike trip.

Leaving mid October from Maryland. One-day drive to Myrtle Beach (500 miles). Spend a day or two in MB then a one-day drive to Kissimmee (500 miles). Spend a few days there, then down to Delray Beach (200 miles).

I know hurricane season ends Nov 30th.

My question. Riding a 900lb motorcycle with a lean angle of 32 degrees at 70mph and a driver weight of 180 what is the formula for maximum hurricane wind speed before you get blown off the road.
