When I was a younger bloke with small children and very little money, I bought a Honda C90 as a commuter. At the time I was living in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia's island state, which is south of Australia and in the roaring 40s. There were times when I was riding it in the wind—particularly in the city around tall buildings—when the wind would simply pick it up and deposit it somewhere else in the lane. Or that's what it felt like. It can't have been as bad as all that because I never came off it and I was never deposited into the side of a car. But it was unnerving.
