Yeah it was mad...I had to tuck in behind a lorry's slip-stream to avoid being blown across the road. My arms still ache from fighting with the bike to keep it upright!!
I'm not looking forward to the ride home much!

Hehehe

I was doing a wheelie down a country lane... as I went passed a gate I was blown very sideways - luckily moving my bulbous arse to counter the wind did the trick wink

Did get a bit of a 1 wheel wobble though...


rsv gone!

I had my Test cancelled today due to the weather, that's now One failure and Two cancellations mad
Hope fully I can get some more time off and get in for it again.

I was going to post in the fastest slowest thread.
I've got a CG and a 1200 Bandit, at the moment the CG is the fastest thing I own eek

I got off lightly this morning, dry and not to breeze, so had some fun this morning. It's bloody miserable out there now though. frown

By unclassified do you mean tracks like your bike is on in that picture? I can't think of a better commute to work than offroad.

I find the extra weight of the Falco makes it easier to cope with the breeze. It doesn't seem to get knocked about as much as the SV does. I don't know if the blade would be the same in that regard - it's probably a lot lighter than the Falco.
