V-Rod, wind in your wheels

Well the title says most of it! If you plan on going up the Columbia gorge or any other such road I suggest you hang on to your V-Rod because that full metal wheel will get you blown pretty near if not off the road if youre not careful. I haven´t heard any other discussions on the topic. Just got mine a week ago and had not ridden in strong winds before so tried it out on an eleven hundred mile run of which part was up the Columbia gorge with some stiff 50 mph winds. I don´t know for sure but think that having at least a front wheel with spokes would be enough to help this situation.
Any comments?

Ride !
