Maybe I'm just a coward, but I sure don't feel in control in conditions like today.

I made a run on my bike down into Denver today on the super-slab. 75 mph road speed combined with a gusty, 90 degree, 50 or 60 mph crosswind was not fun. I was thinking a steering damper would sure be nice when the wobbling set in. On the way back, I finally just got off I-25 and went secondary roads the rest of the way home. It wasn't that bad when I left home just before noon, but I got worse as I headed south.

Other than that, it sure did feel good to get the bike out and ride a bit.

Ug...wind not for the win, but thanks to Sasch and a very long ride through Utah, I'm very good at it. It's always good to go blow the cobwebs off the bike.

Wind really came out of nowhere about noonish. I was on Hwy 93 in the Durango later on and was glad not to be on two wheels today :wtf:

I've gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me much any more.
