It was a bit windy round my back passage earlier, probably the Rogan Josh.

Funnily enough... it was insanely gusty around NY/NJ this morning. Worst I have seen since I started driving here. I was almost having problems holding the bike up at lights.

Cornering was fine, if you were leaning into the wind... less nice when you were leaning with the wind. I just cracked open the throttle a bit more to keep the bike up when I felt it pushing me too far...

It is doing it quite badly up here in Preston.

Sat in the loft with the roof creaking is a bit off putting. Glad I am not on two wheels, I had a real nasty experience years ago of going round a bend and being blown onto the opposite carriageway. Not nice
