Default Wind on the Highway What do you do

May I have suggestions please:

What do you all do on the highway when wind hits you?

Let me give you the scenario. Friend of mine just bought a new x10. I have an 04 gixxer 750. On the highway..he took off...I followed. Got up to about a hundred and woosh..the D**N wind blew me...it was like I felt I was going sideways. I was about half down on the tank. He just kept on going. Me I slowed down to 60 immediately.

Both were wearing full leathers. I asked if he felt the wind..he said "alittle." What do you all do..just crotch down and bear it? And asking..what do the pro riders do on the track concerning wind. That is other than tight clothing etc.

thank you for the responses.
