I can see how the fender could have started vibrating in the gusts this morning and the vibration being enough to turn my front end into a paint mixer. It never happened before on that hill. I think I was at 31mph. That was my top speed for the day on tthe cylometer, anyway. Makes for a fun story, but not fun at the time. Terrifying is right. Now that I think about it, it wasn't smart for me to go down the hill like that with the high winds this morning. Just open farm fields to the left and right of me on that road. Made myself open to blasts of wind in that stretch of road. Of course, you vets probably think I am a wuss or something. I am sure that you mega milers are used to shimmy and how to avoid/control it.
