My wife and I rode down to the Beer and Bacon Extravaganza (May 2017) in Indianapolis, IN. Started from the Milwaukee area at 46 degrees and rain and it didn't warm up until about 30 miles outside Indianapolis. We rode in cross winds, from the east, reported in excess of 50mph riding on the long flat and straight road in northern Indiana. Many times I had to increase throttle to keep it in my lane and many times on new asphalt with all that nice oil on it. I almost went over when I put my feet down when stopping for gas and found that the bottom of my boots were covered with oil and had no traction. Good thing I had new tires with less than 200 miles on them. Not the most enjoyable ride but the event was great!
