a 'Dust Devil' yesterday. Had my faceshield at the halfway position so kinda got my cheek sandblasted. Just glad I had it low enough to cover the eyes.

I got caught in a sand storm near Tucson, AZ. I was wearing a half helmet at the time. I thought I would never get the sand out of my ear. But, I didn't have to shave that side of my face for awhile.

Got a friend in Phoenix who used to send me pictures of Haboobs.

I think that we decided that the plural of "Haboob" just has to be, "Haboobies"! :roflblack:
If you get caught up in one of those; is there a chance that your bike will suffer damage to the exterior surfaces? Did you clean out your air filter after things finally calmed back down?

Ha-boob (pronounced Ha-boo), is an indian name for a massive storm. First the distant sky will turn orange, the temperature will drop, and there will be a eire calm. Then the wind will pick-up and turn into a howl, blowing sand into a huge sandstorm (hence why the sky was orange). Usually following the sandstorm will be a massive thunder storm. So after the sand storm blows away half you lawn, the rain comes in and washes what's left away. The winds in a Ha-boob will sometimes be near 75-100 mph. So, not a fun thing to drive through. Florida has it's Huricanes, the midwest and southern USA have tornadoes, California has earth quakes, and the south west has Ha-boobs.
