Tough ride today for the ride home. Came out of Rapid City through the badlands and hit very high winds straight across the road. Winds tended to want to knock the bike into the oncoming lane. Fortunately there wasn't any traffic.
Had one problem. A strong gust associated with bumps in road caused the tour pak top to spring open. It flew up stopped only by the restraining cable. I couldn't see it inu mirrors so thought I had blown a tire since the bike had gotten real squirrelly. It was like having a sail up in the wind. Stopped the.bike and locked the top down but lost the passenger back rest pad. Could have been worse.
Tomorrow out at 6:00 AM looking to stop for our final night in Profusely, IL. Then an easy ride on Wednesday back into Cincinnati. The end is in sight.
Oops, Peoria, IL
