The Wind Is Not My Friend

Not long ago, I was commenting that riding a motorcycle is one of life's great simple pleasures.  That statement is still true, in my opinion.  However, I have learned that there are certain things that can make that ride... less pleasurable.  I'm certain that rain is one of those things.  Heavy traffic would be, as well.  But another sinister force is out to get us.  Something much sneakier.  The ninja element... wind.  Today, I was shocked.  Shocked that when I was riding I was being shoved to the side of the road.  Why?  Wind.  Crazy strong wind here now.  Don't get me wrong; riding in the wind is still better than not riding.  But it kind of sucked.  I shouldn't have to fight to stay in a lane.  Not when I'm the only one on the road.  What's my point here?  I don't really have one.  Just beware the wind.
