wow, I dont think I ever would imagined riding this bike in such strong winds coming out of the south blowing North/west and getting pounded while riding the Fury. I love my Bike, But the dense humid air combined with a 22-27 mph winds gusting to 30 was scary. It almost felt like I was being tipped over , I had to cross a few bridges close to the ocean as I traveled up towards Cedar point and morehead city nc, and at 1st I was in left lane , that changed real quick, I moved as close to the right side as possible. I did have a death grip on my bars. The winds didnt start til I was about 40 minutes into my ride, but I did make it home safe, on my way back, a guy in a large dodge ram came up along side of me in the left lane to block the wind as I crossed, I didnt ask, was almost like he knew I was gonna get beat for about a 1/2 mile. Overall the bike handled fine as long as I stayed at 55 or lower.
Oh and this trip was my 1st long trip with new Cobra air flo,,seemed to do fine.
