    Predicted gusts to 65mph, sustained winds from 35 to 45mph. In the early morning I went to town on Rex to photograph an Art-Car parade. It was a bit blustery but manageable. After the parade was over I pointed Rex north towards Roz, our RV.

    There is a canyon that we pass through and I want to say WOW, (expletive deleted), WOW! The gusty winds there were switching directions instantly and randomly. Now this old biker has some miles in the saddle but this was, to greatly understate, a bit exciting. The point that scared me was after coming out of a sweeping turn, with Rex straight and verticle, running 65mph, we suddenly moved about a foot to the left. I do not mean we were pushed to the left with a hard gust, I mean the bike got real light and instantly was relocated. It felt as if we were lifted...    less

      Hnharris3 Thought I visited every biker site out there. Never this one but am glad I did. Looks like an interesting site. I just turned 73 and have been riding since I was 15.

Looks like an interesting site. I just turned 73 and have been riding since I was 15. When I get on one of my bikes (I have 4) I feel like 15 again with a bit more savvy. Looking forward to more visits to this site and a few more years of cruising the hwys of this beautiful country.

    I have ran into trees, fences, cars, and hillsides. I have been hit by cars and deer. I have slid my bike under the frame of cars rather than a direct hit. This was in my younger years. And at that point of my life I was never scared; I just got back in the saddle and rode again. Now much older I have been able to avoid the stupidity of my youth. The only accident I have been in in my recent years was a hit an run as I was hit from the rear and thrown from my bike and landed head first into a curb. This is the first time I was ever scared because I had to call my wife the doctor and tell her I was in an accident.
