Re: Wind gusts

Good plan. New tires should make the bike ride a lot more planted on all surfaces. I made a point of keeping the pressures up on Lynda's bike. For her trip fully loaded with stuff I bumped the pressure up about 2 psi over the recommended maximun for the bike front and rear. The bike handled well and the tire wear was negligent. On my Vstrom I played with pressures and followed comments from other Vstrom riders who ran higher pressures. Better tire wear means less replacements over time.
