Wind plus 100kg bike equals concern

Nope, you are not wrong. Let the bike wander a bit , you have a whole lane to play with. Relax , don't fight it, drop a gear or two and keep the speed up . The last is what beginners always do wrong, they get scard and slow down. A bike is more stable the faster it goes. Main thing is to remember to watch out for gusts when you turn a curve, or move out of shelter into a more exposed bit of road. But in 35 years I've only heard of one rider coming to grief because of being wind blown , who DIDN'T slow down and jam on the brakes. (and that was our own dear Ms Str8jacket)

skel, thats kinda what i do. let the bike glide, and then pull it back with a quick twitch of my hips. same when a truck goes past. i guide the bike when its safe to, but when its windy, shes in charge to a certain point.

One other thing, if you weight the pegs more in the wind the bike won't tilt as far or as quickly. You still want the bike to move around, but you can lessen how much it does so by standing on your pegs.

I find that the wind usually blows the rider around more than the bike... so... makes sure you are not tight... flex with the wind and don't translate the buffering to the bike.... helps better control too...

and don't rely on the wind as a compoent of your cornering... because it can stop / increase any moment, be ready to take over.
