You'll get used to it, all I can tell you is practice, practice and venture slowly out of your comfort zone.
I know for me recognizing this truth helps me take my time in venturing into the real world.
When the wind is whipping sideways yes you'll feel like you're being pushed the best thing to do is to keep the throttle steady and your eyes forward. Remember the scoot goes where you are looking.
As to the OP grats on your new baby! Keep it rubber side down.

As for the wind thing, it's certainly unpleasant. Just hold tight your handlebar and ease off on the throttle if you need to.
Well, it's worked for me when I had crosswinds over me and my PCX. When it comes to crosswinds, nothing beats a helicopter landing beside the road you're going through. Happened to me once and it's an experience I didn't like at all.qed wrote:Cascanciu wrote:Hi and welcome!. You'll enjoy both the PCX and these forums, you bet.

I do exactly the opposite, keep a loose grip on the handlebar and just try to relax
The RAF apache helicopters used to be stationed next to us and occasionally they would fly next to you and track you with the gun turret.Cascanciu wrote:Well, it's worked for me when I had crosswinds over me and my PCX.
