Hell anything under 30mph is a just a breeze here in ID. Had to ride in the 60+mph gusts on second ride on new 12 Ultra EG on Sunday. Talk about being totaly freaked out. Not only did I have to make adjustments for the wind but had to dodge monster tumbleweeds as well. The EG handled it all and wanted more. Only two things stop me from riding, rain and snow. If either are on the ground when I get up, the bike stays warm in the garage.

A little and I mean a little y'alls posts make me feel lucky to live where I do but I have to ask why anyone would want to live where the wind blows like that daily unless into wind energy or sailing :-)

T-shirt riding in Wisconsin in March, can't beat that. 180 miles just to pick up a new shotgun. Didn't need a reason to ride just needed a destination.
