He is going to be looking for a job soon. Maybe Wal*Mart is hiring store managers?

Guess I've been real lucky, because I've never had the bike move over more than a foot or so. But yesterday I wasn't having fun, what with a crummy Yaris blowing by me as if it was dead calm. Jeeez! |

![]() I was commuting home from SF to the east bay years back and we had 80mph gusts over the Bay Bridge with sheets of rain. My 300lb butt on my 600lb bmw were being blown from one tire track to the other. Though prior I was in a similar storm on my KLR 650 and almost had the wheels blown out from under it. That was not fun, 21" hoop in the front acts as a sail in the wind... Hug the bike as tight as you can to make a smaller wind target and keep a looser grip on the bars so your body doesnt cause the wobbles.
