Default Dont'cha hate riding in the wind??
Where I live, we may have occasional 50 mph winds with gusts up to 70. I usually don't ride on days like that but man is it tough. Gusts coming from the front or side to side are tricky. Anyone else have those problems?

Yeah, we get those winds in the desert...just lean into it! Last year riding to Laughlin I had 50mph side winds most of the way, was leaning 45 degrees most of the ride!

You need to modernize and use an ipod! I have the speakers in my helmet and rock away going down the road! It pisses my MC Brothers off sometimes as we ride in a pack and sometimes I loose focus as I am rocking out! LOL
