   RIDIN that is!  Well sort of. I had Every intention of doing about a 140 150 mile loop I like around SoMo. Fired up the 2012 geezer glide and headed fer West Plains Mo. wallywurld has the lowest priced fuel so headed there. Right at 25 miles from my Casa to wallywurld. Headed S on US 63 the wind POUNDED either the right rear or the right center or the right front!  And the Geezer Glide became quite a handful! And you just KNOW I hadda see Where the limit(s) were Speed V crosswind. I'm still here and No New scars I'm happy to report!  So bout 51 miles or so today BUT I Did in FACT git a RIDE in!  Got situated at the top of my driveway when I got back home smilin and laughin from the RIDE cuz we here all KNOW zackly What I'm talkin bout!  You KNOW That Feeling that try as hard as you will it can NOT be Explained But We here no gotta splain it as We LIVE it  RIDE SAFE.

cross winds are rough to handle when say 40mph or more, at least for me.  only been in that a few times and never dare go much over 50 mph since the winds would whip violently, then taper off to say 10 mph, then flare up 40 mph again really dislike leaning heavily into the wind to fight the heavy beast from pushing me to where the wind was going, then ease up on the leaning into the wind when winds diminished.
