Someone seroiusly needs to hang little pon-poms off it like they did on their bike when they were a little girl... that would be way classy!
How about these hanging off the "sissy horn" yoke guys?

Try landing a Citation X in an X-wind and you'll love the CRJ.

what about the climb performance? How many step climbs does the CRJ have to do to reach FL300 and above? I know we don't have to do any in the ERJ all the way to 370. From talking to others that fly the CRJ it seems they generally cruise at lower altitudes for this reason. I've never flown the CRJ but it seems like it would get annoying to have to level off 2 or 3 times to get through FL300. That cockpit is nice and quiet though

Depends on the OAT really. Anything close to ISA and it'll do OK up to mid 30's. ISA +5 and above, you'll be doing 500 FPM at 20,000 feet, and can probably make it to upper 20's before leveling off.

Not talking about the plane, talking about the rams horn. Probably wouldn't matter which aircraft, just plain sucks in a x-wind. The dorknob was a bear, high wing, T-tail, narrow gear. Thank god it had a yoke.

On another subject, was in an XR today coming from the east coast to IAH. Mid 30's, in the detent, ISA -4. .77 was the fastest it would go.

I did .80 all the way in the xr from BNA to EWR shes a beast and ram horns or not, a x-wind landing is a x-wind landing. An airplane is an airplane guys come on now...............

Flying between ORD and RIC this morning at 370, I had to pull the go-levers back from the detent (at CRZ setting) to keep from overspeeding the LR. Are you remembering to put your gear up after you take off?

Is that what was causing all that noise?

Seriously, it wouldn't go any faster. Maybe it had tired engines.

Yep, but having a wide set of handle bars with a low pivot point hitting your knee vs. a narrow conventional yoke that you can easily get full deflection if necessary is not "an airplane is an aiplane thing".
