There's been an increasing number of times that I have been out riding and and the wind picks up making me almost feel that the NC is being blown across the lane and sometimes I get the sense that the bottom of the bike is being blown out from underneath me. During those times I press my knees tightly against the bike and make sure I have a good grasp on the handlebars. Some questions to address such situations:
1. Are there fairings that I can buy to stabilize the bike in such situations?
2. Are there any maneuvers that can be suggested? Do I just pull off the road and hope the wind dies down and/or look for secondary roads with a lower speed limit?
3. Can heavier MCs accommodate higher wind speeds until the speeds result in the same feeling of being blown across the road?
Like you the more I ride the longer (distance and time) I want to ride so any suggestions you can offer will be most appreciated.
TIA.
