Gusty Impressions

[tofriendscreek]

Yesterday on the prairie it was windy to say the least. Sustained winds between 35-40, with lots of gusts to 50 MPH out of the west. Time to find out how the new Performance RT handled in a real breeze. And the report is it did admirably!!!

The real test was with those winds hitting the RT and me at a 90 degree angle. I had to hang on, the windshield vibrated at times, i got buffeted a few times, but the RT stayed on track and was amazingly easy to guide. Regards to the Elka's and the team at Cowtown for my impressively stable ryde.

I agree with the handling of the RT in a strong cross-wind. I took a long ride last fall where the wind was quite at the beginning of the day. However, by the time mid-afternoon hit, it was blowing hard. The RT was very easy to keep on-track and I did not feel like I was struggling to stay on the road. The wind was gusty as well.
