Default Heavy winds

they suck, after meeting tommy at the track the winds picked up and made for a misserable ride home. I literally turned left for 70 miles home while getting beaten by debris blown from trees and sand from the side of the road. I gotta get a new clear shield from the beating it took today

We are gettin' 40 mph sustained with 65+mph gusts. It sucks. Trees look like they're gonna snap in half.
