A good example would be the wind being pushed by a semi or a wind blowing down a canyon that crosses to road. I like it to be my decision when to change lanes. Mechanical brakes are not designed for 75 MPH. The steering and suspension are not designed for 75 MPH.

I like that comment...laughed...and agree!
I have often said over 75mph feels like you have air suspension. With the full fenders, you do!
Good Day!
