CB1100 and Wind

[the Ferret]

Here are two consecutive pics I took maybe 30 secs apart on our trip to Cali. My buddy on a Vstom 1000 was riding the left tire track and I was riding in the center on my ST 1300. We are in in eastern Colorado at this point, headed north with a west wind. Look at his wheels, look at his body posture. I have a dozen pics of him fighting the wind like this.



Look how far a wind gust pushed him in this second pic ...lol.. from the left track to the right track almost to the white line. It was a hoot to watch, but no fun to ride in.



Like I said by 3 PM we were bushed. Normally we would have ridden until dinner, but that day we got off the road at 3 PM, exhausted.

edit: found another where it pushed him all the way to the white line lol
