THIS AFTERNOON I RODE IN ABOUT 20 MPH WINDS AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT FELT LIKE I WAS RIDING ON ICE OR GLASS. ANY SLIGHT BURST OF WIND PUSHED MY MOTORCYCLE INTO A DANGEROUS LEAN. I FELT IT THE MOST WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. I'VE RIDDEN MANY DIFFERENT MAKES OF MOTORCYCLES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I DID NOT FEEL LIKE I HAD CONTROL AND EVEN HAD TO PULL OVER A FEW TIMES TO AVOID LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL. *JB
