Here is my situation. I have a 89 Honda Hawk, which is a naked sport bike. Do fairings and windscreen help all that much when it comes to the wind? This is the only bike that I have ever ridden, so I don't know what the rest feel like.
Also, explain this to me.
I live in Northern California, There are lots of hills, and with lots of hill comes lots of wind, usually. I was riding my bike this morning just staying with the flow of traffic at about 55-60mph and my bike is getting tossed all over the lane by the wind. I'm praying the whole time, hoping that I don't lose it and also slowing down at the same time hoping that the extreme gusts of wind will subside. Then all of a sudden this guy on a Harley goes flying by me like nothing. I'm thinkin' what the crap?!!! How is it that this guy is not even phased by the wind. Could it be that the extra weight of his bike and the fact that he was probably a much more seasoned rider than I make that much of a difference? Please help, I'm baffled by this!!!
