Lol, have you tried just sticking your knee out on the side that the wind is blowing. That really helped me when i was on a little Ninja 250.

I Ride: but not on the street.
Quit your whinning. We live in Ellensburg, its a part of every day life....

Although, it does suck when you're leaned into the wind....and then the pressure on that side drops and you get a gust from the other side. Happens a lot out on 97. Swiriling winds FTMFL
