Default front end wobble 2 part ?

So first of let me say that im a new rider. I took my bike to work the first time. 30 miles one way..and notice there was a slight crosswind and the front end of the bike seem to wobble alot. is this normal? any way of fixing that?

also at what speed should i lean down to stop the wind from trashing me around?
I know its probably as simple as when the wind starts to trash me around right..

thanks in advance everyone

I ride mine daily to and from work and I have encountered wind with no problem, you may want to loosen your grip up some and relax alittle more. When I first started riding the other year I would tense up in crosswinds, which would cause the bike to be harder to control. I now am more relaxed and it seems the bike feels more comfortable while riding.

Make sure that your tires are balanced, and at proper inflation. The balancing part you will either have to take into a shop, or buy your own balancer.
