On a trip to California many a year ago, I was approaching a thunderstorm. It was still sunny where I was. Had a burst of air come at me from the left and almost blew me into the ditch (at 70+ mph). I only had a tiny flyscreen type shield on that bike. Scared me pretty good.
Why are they waiting to set your arm ? I always thought you did that right away. Sorry about your pain brother, hoping you put this behind you soon
