Don't blame you on the Death Valley trip, Rboe. My wife and I went in late April. Temps were very nice, but the wind was blowing like mad. There were four bikes in front of our car heading into the long flat road that heads to the long hill up. Two adventure bikes with tons of luggage and two Harleys. Cross winds were battering all of us, and there was a giant sandstorm visible ahead in the distance. My wife said "are those bikes really going to ride into that?" As we got closer, the bikes slowed for a bit, then gunned it and all came out the other side. Bad enough in our car, wouldn't have wanted to be on a bike!
