Blimey it is windy!!! Just ridden between Oxford and Reading and it was pretty scary and very gusty, felt like I was holding the bike at 45 degrees to keep it in a straight line and even then it still got batted about in the gusts!

Go careful!!!!

Rode into it this morning down the M11, was blowing one way then the other, should have it on my tail on the way home though. Take it easy out there!

Just part-ex'd my Trumpet 600 for a Ducati Monster 900ie - carbon pipes included... felt decidedly unsafe riding my triumph to winchester from haslemere (nr guildford) due to extreme wind! coming back felt completely different... i'm in love with biking again!
