As I'm sure most of you noticed, today was pretty windy. With gusts maxing out at 40mph unknown to me at the time, I decided to see how the new motorcycle handled highway driving. I went down to Oshkosh to celebrate my sisters sons birthday. So I took 41 down and the wind was horrible. I have never ridden in more violent wind. The mirrors on the bike kind of suck, and I was getting pushed a whole lane width by the wind. It really was quite scary. I took county roads home with less traffic, but It was still quite a ride. It was manageable but scary, and it definitly kept my speed down. Leaning 15 degrees to the side to counteract wind starts to feel weird after a while.
