Wind or Rain?

[jasonzc]

hate rain.. bring on the wind anyday...

my gear leaks.

[willytheekid]

Rain, ice, fog or even snow, dosn't really bother me (good matched tyres and an amazing weather suit! ).....but high gusty winds!
No thanks, the guzzi is not that aerodynamic side on, got blown across two lanes this winter (while I was on a 45 deg angle fightin it) and "danced" on the outer white line...not that much fun, but it did break the monotony of the trip into work lol.

Loose grip on the bars is essential for wind riding. If it's really bad and the 250 is lacking the pep to go into it, just tuck down over your tank. MAkes a world of difference, especially on a naked machine. The speed triple doesn't seem to mind, then again 100Nm of torque tends to do that.

[Corse1]

Doesn't bother me either way....

but put them together wind and the rain a bit of a different story.... but meh, just do it

Yep don't mind either but put them together and stuff that....although if I am already out in it then yeah just do it

What I prefer is wind over rain to answer the question

[DarkLord]

Rain.

Going round a 25 corner and nearly getting blown into an 18 wheeler on the other side of the road by a sudden gust?

Not fun. Always handy to carry a spare pair of undies in case such an incident arises as you may need them.

[NZsarge]

Would rather ride in neither.

Right on, both annoy me, rain slightly less so perhaps but only slightly..

[nutjob]

I hate both as well, but if I had to choose one it would be rain... afterall, it's only water

[MSTRS:Me]

When I was young (back when dinosaurs still walked the earth) I didn't like wind, compared to rain. I still don't.
But I have learned better techniques for coping, except for those sudden gusts that come with no warning.

Yeah I hate that, pretty hard to let it out in your leathers eh?
At least the pillion knows what you're doing when you hoist a tad on the front pegs.

Yeah and the vacuum created pulls your earplugs too tight

[Sharry]

I don't have an attraction to either, if it is too windy, raining or both and I don't have to go out I won't.
If I am out and either or both start up I suck it in and adjust myself accordingly... relax the arms and keep of the shiny stuff.

Actually if the wind is not too strong I often enjoy it

[duckonin]

Wind can be quite good fun - I just relax and it's usually fine

HA.. ride some more k's in the wind !! (WIND)= fUN + Relax my arse it does.. Keep your wits about you all of the time in the strong wind..Shit can happen anytime..

Yeah ... got hit by wind on the Rimutakas on a blind left hander and wound up on the wrong side of the road .. luckily nothing was coming ...

I'll take rain ever time ... it just makes the road slippery . wind can be a sudden killer ...

[Pwalo]

I'm surprised that a Wellington rider would bother asking such a question. You know you're going to get both, usually together.

I can safely say that after many years commuting in the capital that I hate both, but they don't stop me from wheeling the bike out each morning. can't be arsed riding in the weekend if the weather's not too flash.

[Juzz976]

Don't notice wind much too used to it, rains ok except the few types where visibility is reduced considerably.
