I agree about riding in heavy winds on a light weight bike, it’s a wrestling match and unsteady feeling.

Glad to hear that!. I'm in the northwest suburbs of Houston and they have recently completed some nice new roads that I am totally eating up. Very little traffic, no side streets, and not many have discovered it yet. It's exactly what you describe and smooth virgin concrete!

I find first at half throttle on my stock 98 will get me comfortably to 20 mph. From there I normally go 20-30 for second, 30-45 for third, 45-60 for fourth, and 60+ for fifth.

We’re in the same ballpark. My usual riding is tamer than yours generally unless I’m trying to get out of a pack of cars and trying to keep myself visible (and heard, lol). I’ve got a Jardine pipe and I can make some noise if I want to!
