Hi BlackToTheBone,

I know exactly what you are talking about. I've experienced the same sensation when the wind is blowing really hard. If you could measure the friction and slippage at the tires, I think you would find they are not really sliding, rather, they are tracking in the direction the wind is blowing. Nevertheless, it is very disconcerting to have this happen, I've been pushed nearly across an entire lane during heavy wind. I would recommend hunkering down over the tank in such conditions and concentrating on staying to the windward side of the lane, that way if you are pushed hard you will still end up in your own lane. Be careful and best of luck!

Cheers!
