It is great to ride and get paid for it, not too many people can lay claim to that feat.

Either way, a man after my own heart. As to gusts, I have nothing against changing lanes. I just prefer to know where and when, is all. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you're not concerned about crosswinds because you're not in a passenger jet trying to land in a 155 mph gust. Maybe it's because you've seen it all, done it all, and not much bothers you anymore.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you like leaning into steady crosswinds because on a round trip like that it helps round off the square tires. Oh yeah, the rear tire will be new on the way back. Why not get a head start?<BR/><BR/>Gail,<BR/>Was that with the white mini-van? Sounds like you were wise to keep both hands on the bars!<BR/><BR/>Dave,<BR/>Actually, it was. These were hollow metal door frames going into a huge new hospital tower. What's funny is that I took pictures and reported to the factory. Then I had a conference call with a couple of big wigs. One told me it was within tolerance and there was no way they were going to replace it. I asked them if they already had their minds made up, why waste my time? In the meantime, I arranged for some pieces to be be sent back next day air. Quality control took one look and pronounced it junk. Score one for the experienced field guy!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>Danirondadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-70552490762667283952008-03-07T06:24:00.000-08:002008-03-07T06:24:00.000-08:00You forgot to finish the story!

I almost used the other kind of signals yesterday but I repressed the impulse, it doesn't lead to anything good. ;)SheRidesABeemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090181977933654976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-10486888771988439922008-03-07T03:47:00.000-08:002008-03-07T03:47:00.000-08:00All of 61, I'll bet you sweated like a pig in ther...All of 61, I'll bet you sweated like a pig in there. <BR/>When I was growing up I was taught hand signals in cars (!) and on motorcycles and I ...never use them. Your point is taken. I will now.<BR/>PS: its windy (30mph) around here today and I'm riding 400 miles roundtrip for a new rear tire. Why am I not concerned about crosswinds even on the freeway Up North? I must, ignorantly be doing something right or horribly wrong.
