High wind

[Kwikasfuki]

Anyone else get caught in the high winds today? We had a van topple with the high winds on the Pennies today (M62), and guess who else was driving in the wind? Yes, your truly. Have to say the GTR did move a little, but it kept true. The signs came on saying "Strong winds - slow down 40", but like bugger I was going to do 40. At that speed is when the wind does grab you and really throws you around.

I as out in some Welsh winds yesterday  but it was no where near as bad as  Hartside pass 3 weekends ago.

I've decided the faster you ride through high wind the more stable the bike.

On a side note, someone in a Bentley tried to race me. Boy are those cars fast. He was shocked that he couldn't pull away, and I was shocked how quick his car was. 570bhp

Mind you, had I opened my throttle fully I wouldn't be here. I've only ever opened the throttle fully once and had to hold on for dear life

The winds were probably my fault.
I was in Canada and had Onion Soup on the 22nd May.  ;D

What's wrong with full throttle? I open it up daily, just not in 1st and rarely in 2nd.

I opened the throttle fully in 2nd once. I had to hold on for dear life. The acceleration was awesome
