Not on a bicycle, but on a Goldwing, which weighs almost 900 pounds empty. My wife and I were headed south on I-65 heading for Tennessee and were trying to get ahead of a strong cold front coming in from the west. All of a sudden I had to lean 30 degrees or more to the right to stay in my lane, and I knew that if the wind stopped suddenly we'd be off the road. Decided to pull off at an underpass and wait it out. By the time we decided to continue, there were at least a dozen motorcycles there with us. Sometimes discretion is the wise choice.

That was a trip neither of us will forget. Especially the 100mph run down to the first exit at Lafayette to the closest hotel for the night.
