OMG! I rode thru an area today that is prone to experiencing very high winds and gust, semi's aka Lorry's are commonly toppled over. Flashing yellow lights, warning all trucks to stop and they were all pulled over. Hmmm, nothing about motorcycles so I proceeded down to Carson City, about a 30 mile ride from Reno through the treacherous Washoe Valley. Couldn't turn around so I dropped down a gear and kept my speed around 80mph, faster you go, the better off you are. I said to myself, If I get a cop trying to pull me over for speeding, I'm not stopping as I would surely be toppled over if I slowed down. My arms are still sore from pressing down on the handlebars so much. Whenever a gust of wind came by I had to roll on the throttle, press and lean. I must have given everyone who was behind me a great show. I was heading over to Santa Clara Ca this afternoon/evening. I couldn't take the Interstate since the northern route was experiencing heavy snow through the pass, so I elected to go through Lake Tahoe. Relatively dry through the pass, but tons of snow on the sides of the highway. Long story short, I made it!
