Red face New member and question for motorcycle riding technique in crosswind

Hello,
I am a new member for this forum. I am having a troulbe with riding the bike when crosswind condition. Some experience riders said, I should speed up to overcome the cross wind. But others said, I should slow down and lean the body into the wind direction. I try both,but I did not success. When I lean my body into the wind direction, wind push my lower part of my bike into oppisite direction. When I straight up my body and lean the bike into wind direction, wind push my body into opposite direstion.

I am very fraustrate with my riding ability. I did ride in my 20 and I never notice that I had that problem. Now in my 50 and try ride the bike again, I could not figure out why that happing.
Anyone can help me. I know sound funny, but I will take any advice.

thanks,
Khin

What bike are you riding (year and model)
Any windshield ? Any saddles ?
How tall are you ?
Are you sure your suspension steering and tires are in perfect condition ?

There is no magic receipe with crosswinds, since they are as variable as the hills or trees you are crossing. You must anticipate them and be prepared to adjust your line accordingly.
