Well First day I rode (legally) it rained. A week or so later, I discovered that no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that your coin purse/id holder will not blow out of your breast pocket IT WILL!, and then we have been having alot of wind in this part of the country this spring, and I found out that you DO NOT ride a 320 lb bike in winds that are gusting up to 50mph. Got blown off the road, down an enbankment, and landed luckily in the grass and out of the thistles and fire ants... Interesting perspective watching the ground come at your face at about 45 mph (luckily, I had begun slowing down). Now terrified of the least little gust of wind, but trying to get past that.
