Wow $238 a night ! Last time I paid that kind of money was in Prudehoe Bay Alaska but the price was split between 2 of us and included a great 24 hour buffet Where you could eat all you wanted at any time.
Wind will wear you out or it does me at times. I came across Kansas one time and the wind felt like someone was hitting my helmet with bat! My neck and head hurt and was so tired i had to hold my chin bar with my left hand and ride with one arm. After a while my left arm was so tired from holding my helmet i had to let it drop. All the while the bike was getting blown across the road and back. Talk about being drained when i got to Missouri! Still it turned out to be a good ride. Met some nice folks that night on Harley's and they showed me the scars all along the bottom of the bikes and down the pipes they drug all the way across Kansas.Oh yes, I get it for sure. I had to really dig deep and plow through to get home. I didn't feel unsafe but just really beat up mentally. At least now I know I can handle any kind of torture the wind has to offer. It's pretty safe to say I doubt many people will ever see another windstorm such as this one. At least in this country it's very rare for a windstorm to stretch more than a 200 mile radius.
