This week rode from S Or to Vegas via 395 to Lone Pine and through Death Valley and return.
I have never experienced wind like this before. This is my first K bike. Several times I wanted to stop but the effects are worse if you aren't moving forward, sideways or at the least making headway. Encountered several Road Glide/dressers in both directions and they did not appear to have the issues with the wind/gusts that I was having. Finally it rained and then began to snow as I was 50 miles from home. Still a great trip and the best bike I have ever ridden...
Have any of you experienced this windage problem with the LT? Quite a test.
If weather channel predicts high winds, stay home. I am way too smart to let a bit of wind stop me. Now I feel just lucky.
No more wining, just curious.
Thanks,
Bill
