CB1100 and Wind

[the Ferret]

Worst winds I have been in are eastern Colorado and western Kansas. They were nuts! You were either riding on a steady 45 degree angle or it would let up, at which point you almost dropped your bike, then hit you with a gust, knocking you all the way across a lane or more, then it would let up again, then another gust. When my buddy and I rode to Cali and back in 2014 that was the shortest day we had on the road. We were just flat wore out from fighting the wind and got a hotel about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
