I rode home from work (lower hutt to upper hutt) at around seven o'clock this evening. It seemed to have died done quite a bit by then.
The wind was nothing compared to what happened to me this morning to me in the Tiata gorge. As I'm riding through I see this movement out of the corner of my eye and then next thing I know, this fucken great rock/boulder comes bowling down the hill and then across the road only a couple of meters ahead of me.

Didn't reckon it was that bad today really. Half asleep drivers - first week back at work - were a lot worse.

Meh, the whole thing was a storm in a b cup!

It was pretty windy yesterday, my daughter & I came out of Countdown in Johnsonville at about 2pm and got to see a trolley full of bread baskets get blown across the car park at a pretty good rate of knots and smash into a parked Commodore with the owner inside, she was none to pleased.

Have to say I'm glad it hit a car and not a person as it had built up quite a speed!!!

Yeah well I'm going to show I must be a soft cock and say I struggled to keep the 750 upright on Kent Terrace after leaving Wellington Motorcycles yesterday (new M3's, I like).

At the first set of lights (which decided to turn red when they saw me approaching, love you Murphy), it took every ounce of determination I had to keep the 750 from falling to the left. Just a bad part though, as I didn't have any problems after that.

I actually like riding in the wind. It spices things up a bit

If you kept it upright, then you're not a softcock.

I did the welly - Upper Hutt thing about 5.30 last night and my little baby (FXR150) only got blown into the other lane once. Not bad, most days in wind like that it happens a couple of times.

Today was a pain though - nice steady resistance wind that knocked a good 10km off my average speed.

You should have taken the SV.
