Chicken strips

Wind strips. Once I was riding up to Boulder on 93, which parallels the foothills. The wind was steady about 40mph from the west, and I was heading north. I had a Suzuki GT750 with a Vetter fairing. The bike was leaned about 30 degrees to the left, but with the wind, the bike was going straight. Until I went past a small hill and the wind stopped. The bike would go across the double yellow. And there were several dozen small hills. Only about 20 miles, but it was worse than riding in a thunderstorm.
