Woo! - that was "thrilling"
« on: September 04, 2012, 07:15:01 PM »
Gusting to 45 knots from the side riding home from work today (in Perth), damp/wet & greasy roads, over populated with knobheads.  >:()

Sometimes I wonder if the screen and top-box have a spinnaker or mainsail effect on the bike. I seem to have more "feel" with the screen down in the cross wind. What about you folks?

Yep, it was great fun. I went from Pearce to Joondalup at around 1430. At 110(ish) the bike twitched a little but was pretty stable.

Anyone heading north would have arrived before they left!
