Desert Hot Springs (Palm Springs area), CA | Here in the desert our worst weather is the wind. Today I was going to a friends house and taking my Vision. The wind was moving out of the west at close to 60mph and I was going south - so it hit me directly on the side. I did fine, leaning into the wind, while driving. As I approached a stoplight and slowed down, the bike was pushed over on its kickstand side... THANK GOD FOR THE TIPOVERS (TGFTT)! It was kinda embarrassing but I was actually proud of the bike for being able to fall over and not get hurt. Thankfully I have had it fall on to the tipovers before and knew the feeling and just let her go... She was righted quickly and off we went... TGFTT |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Yeah, lived in Lancaster 40 years ago when I worked @ locoweed, the wind doesn't blow on the desert, Orange County sucks! Crested the hill heading West on the 10 near Palm Springs driving a 24 ft box truck, the wind was blowing upslope so hard the truck actually stopped for a second |
