Hey Dogs,

On a recent, highly enjoyable trip the only thing I really battled with was a strong crosswind (about 40-50km/h in my opinion). Is there a trick or do you ride it out and hope that you're reading it right?

I mean, the KLR is smallish but at around 235-245kg (with me on it) it's hardly light...(and that's ex pannier weight) although the front faring is a bit of a 'sail'... Just wondering if the OldDogs know how to handle this kind of thing...

Cheers.

I also visit St Francis often, and the wind there is sent straight from purgatory!
