RE: WINDY........

Had them winds hit vegas pretty hard last night,with wife on the back a bad crosswind got behind my windshield and pushedmy bike to the left like it was sail on a boat.Didn't think it could happen at 80 mph on the highway!

Kicked the cruise off and held the f*ck on!!!

Now that's funny. Same thing happened to me last year coming up the coast. Exactly what I did, except I had no cruise at the time.

I live in Albuquerque, and the winds were strong here, as well. My brother in law, up in castle Rock (south of Denver), said he got 5 inches of snow this weekend.[:@]

No plans for Prescott, but I did go to the Hideaway.

I hit the Hideaway every Sunday. Sometimes Greasewood Flats, it's like a place forgotten or lost in time.

Yep we've got the damned Santa Ana winds here in So Cal this weekend and it's just starting to blow today. Supposed to be 3 days of 40-50 mph winds i think. Not alot of fun to ride in, but some bikes deal with it better than others.

Yeah they are a real bitch too! Gusts of up to 108mph were recorded yesterday. Couldn't see crap because of the dust and ash in the air from the fires. Smells like a damn campfire inside my house.

Winds GO AWAY!
