Holy Crap !!

Another newbie post. I finally went over the bridge from the mainland (all riding to date) to beachside, that wasn't too bad at 45 MPH (gotta tell ya though, was wee bit nervous with the wind). However, I then started south on A1A along the coastline. Wind was blowing east to west between 5-15 MPH. We have a lot of condos on the beach, so it it seemed "typical" of my riding experiences to date. As soon as I got to an area where no condos were blocking the wind, a gust came from the east and dang if it didn't push me a foot or two to the right. I managed to "adjust" without "freaking out", and I continued on, thinking, "holy crap, that was different !!"

I can't imagine being on the interstate when a big @ss 18-wheeler goes by you, holy crap !! Just thought I'd share, and ask anyone if there is a proper "technique" to deal with wind gusts ??

Thanks.
