We took Melanies new CTX 700 to Sioux Falls to look at a different bike for me. The CTX isn't a great two up bike. We did ok, but can't wait to put the new Corbin seat she ordered on it. The hard side wind didn't blow the CTX around much at all. I was very impressed with it. Honda got this bike right.
I ended up buying the bike, and we are on our way home as I am writing this. We stopped at Chamberlain , SD because the wind got worse than yesterday.
There are high wind warnings for the rest of our ride home.
Alert: Wind Advisory issued August 22 at 12:56PM MDT until August 22 at 8:00PM MDT by NWS Sioux Falls

That was the weather warning in effect when we got here. We were glad we chose to stop.
This was the swells on the Missouri River from our second floor room.
Road selfie!
Here are a few mote pictures of the ride home on Sunday, with the wind greatly reduced from Saturday.
