    I understand about the temps...when the wind is around 16, gusting higher, and you have multiple bridges to go over, that changes the ballgame. That brings the one thing about this bike, you get blown around all over the place, and not the good kind. Just don't enjoy that kind of ride.

    My opinion; the F6B can hold its direction in gusty wind a lot better, compared to some other bikes I have had.

    Heavy bikes, like my past Triumph 3 and Victory Vision tracked pretty good in the wind as well.

    Now my DL650 and my present DR650... get blown around like a potatoe chip

    A fork brace does wonders for helping to mitigate that sudden reaction to wind/trailer blast as well, I found the magic in them when I put one on my DL650....

    I love big words like[ mitigate ] It makes me feel even better when I know
    what it means.

    Yeah. I have a limited plethora of important sounding words. Sometimes I don't know what they mean

    I recall working on a project and needing a "Hexogonalinvertedstelonoidcamsnapper" to get the task done! Luckily for me, Harbor Freight had them in stock
