Don’t know if ya had a bad experience with one , or are anticipating on having one :Shrug:
Personally I’ve never had a issue. 18 wheeler buffing has been worse , just be prepared.
I feel the crosswind more when I am riding with my buddies and passing big trucks over 70mph
When you are passing a truck on a Trike or bike' Look where you want to go and keep the power on, Don't linger...Accelerate .......
I come from a lifetime of boating. When you're passing a big rig, think of it like a boat. There is turbulence at the rear (like a boat wake). Close to the side and middle of the rig there is generally quiet air that almost wants to pull you towards the rig. Then when you get to the front of the rig there is air being pushed sideways (like the bow wave of a boat). This is where you probably feel most uneasy. Anticipate it will be there. It is very short lived. I always accelerate and blast through that bow wave. Works for me. Good luck..... Jim

Settle in with a firm grip on the handle bars ( not a death grip) accelerate thru the cross wind
