Great video!   That facility will help a lot with learning how to deal with natures onslaught.   Anyone that has not been thru a hurricane should experience it once.   Its amazing how even 50 mph sustained winds for several hours will drive you nuts!!!   

If you pull the Valk in there, you can probably simulate some of the riding aspects!!   Grin

Its really an a mazing thing (hurricanes).  Im here in FL....a few years ago  Hurricane Dennis I think took the ridge vent off the family room and you all know what parks in the family room!!!!!   Shocked  Shocked  Cheesy

So the winds were 115mph, too high to get on the rood, but luckily so high it didnt let very much water in the hole from the ridge vent.

I moved the bike and put containers to catch dripping water and waited.  When the wind dropped below 100mph I grabbed the hammer, nails and roofing shingles and braved it.

Looking back, was it bravery or stipidity?????   LOL but there I was straddling the ridge vent nailing on shingles in 85mph winds. 

What we wont do for our Valkyries
