  Riding in the wind - nerves

  I just upgraded to a Shadow 750 ACE from a Rebel 250.  I'm in love with the new bike and I was excited to try taking the highway 1 exit to see how it would handle.  I was unable to do it on the Rebel.  Just taking the 1 exit I was...  moreI just upgraded to a Shadow 750 ACE from a Rebel 250.  I'm in love with the new bike and I was excited to try taking the highway 1 exit to see how it would handle.  I was unable to do it on the Rebel.  Just taking the 1 exit I was impressed that it quickly came up to speed but was nervous by the wind hitting my helmet pulling back my head till I stiffened up and there were a couple gusts that jerked me a little.  Is this something I will just need to practice and hopefully I'll get used to it?  Did any of you start out with this problem and get past it?

Been busy with other things and on other sites, but I'm happy to see that you got a new bike. By now, hopefully you're fully used to it, and enjoying it. I've rented Shadow 750s from time to time when I was vacationing somewhere. My bike is still my old 750 Honda Magna, a cousin of yours! Keep rolling, and keep enjoying whatever you're mounted on!  less
