    tell me about it .... thought i was a gonner a couple of times on the ride home.


    Got one especially nasty side on gust coming up the southern mway, almost ended up in the median then got thumbs up from the people in the car next to me

    but yea, dodging branches and other debris all over the place and struggling to keep the bike up when stopped at lights isnt much fun ....
