Be careful if ou rode, it's windy as hell out

I shouldn't make light of this. I've known people to go down in winds. I've been in a couple of storms with steady high crosswinds, with and without rain, where I wondered if I'd stay upright. A steady counter steer against the lean/wind will result in a straight line down the road at a stiff lean, but if you let go, you're in trouble. Eventually, you doubt what is happening, and you want to let go and ride normal. That's when you need to slow down and pull over and wait till it's better. Don't push your luck in a cross wind.

edit: Some bikes get pushed around more than others. So ride yours, and watch out for theirs.
