you will feel a small "push" as the 18 wheeler passes (it's "bow wave" so to speak) followed by a "pull" as it goes past. It is really not bad at all. Relax the grip on the bars as the bike will tend to travel a straight line. Rather than steering, use your body lean to counteract any effects. Sort of "go with the flow" so to speak. Large vehicles exhibit a larger effect when oncoming on a two laner,
but again, the bike will not fall over but may lean to maintain a straight track. Good riding!
