And I'm riding Rita's Ninja this week (winter rotation). Should be an interesting ride in this morning. If you're riding, be careful.

When I left at about 6:15 the wind in HR had died out completely. The ride in was a nice, warm 44!!! Woohoo!!! It is supposed to get cold around 11 this morning tho.

I've seen numerous bikes get blown over in the parking lot where I work... no wind protection.
After being woken up at 4 this morning because of the wind, I opted to leave the bike at home... sux cause I really wanted to ride today.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Unfortunately Rita vetoed the ride. "If you drop my bike, I won't be able to get full value when I sell it."
I'd have gone in on the 'busa but I haven't gotten around to replacing the headlight and Rita's bike has all the power cords for the heated gear right now.
Ah well. Sure were a bunch of idiots out this morning though. Wind's blowing from the left and they're on the right side of the lane being blown into the right lane.

Wanted to ride pretty badly, especially after I got outside & felt how warm it was. But after seeing the traffic girl on 9news almost get blown into the road on numerous occasions and considering that the ride home would probably be below freezing, I opted for the cage today. And of course the right rear tire had 6 psi in it too, so it's gonna be a good day.

I saw half a sheet of sheet rock sailing 4' in the air down the road in front of my house this morning as I was repairing a fence. That changed my mind about riding. Then I get to work and discover that one of our AC condenser units on the roof had blown over.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson
Really wanted to ride today, but seeing the garbage cans blown over, the cover of the BBQ blown off (weighted down with a brick), and trees down in the subdivision... decided to nix that idea.

The wind here blew a pickett out of the fence, and blew some tree branches down in the back yard. Guess I'll be using my time off for yard work again today.

There is really no wind here in the DTC. I felt a small breeze when I went out to check on the bike.

It was dead calm at my house at 6:30 (in western Kansass), so I contemplated riding. Right up to the point I checked the weather for the shop, and discovered the wind was blowing 34 mph, with gusts up to 64 mph. Knowing that the parking lot here is a wind tunnel that will accelerate the gusts by about 50%, I chose to drive the cage. Turns out, it was a good choice. As I was coming in the door, a gust caught it and slammed me into the wall (maybe 80 mph?). We've had tires blown out of the back of the pickup over night. Darn breezy!
Thanks, Jim

The advantages of living in the plains and working in Greenwood Village - a little breezy as I left the house but it calmed down as I hit Parker so all in all a good ride. Probably a little cool tonight but that is what gear is for
Windy in denver but nothing damaged; a coworker in Boulder lost his fence. All in all not too crazy here though.

My scarf was blowing sideways while I was heading up 287 and all my chicken strips are gone from the left side of the bike

When I left at about 6:15 the air was so still it was creepy. By the time I got to University and A-pahoe it was blowing like an out of work lawyer.
