Wind or Rain?

**Ryster** · 25th September 2010, 16:12

What would you rather ride in?

I don't mind the rain too much apart from the getting wet. But i can't stand the wind. Being blown all over the road and constantly having to fight to go in a straight line makes me so angry :S

I don't mind the wind as long as it's constant.It's the gusts that give me the shits.

**PrincessBandit** · 25th September 2010, 16:34

Rain - no problem. Gusty wind - yuk.

**Maha** · 25th September 2010, 16:34

Would rather ride in neither.

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

both good fun the more you do it the less you hate it just remember if its a crosswind suck your guts in (less resistance) aye Maha

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

Rain isn't too bad.
Fog on the other hand I can't stand - freaks me out O_o

Riding in the rain is fun. I don't even get wet since I can just tuck myself into the cockpit, and the gear I've got keeps me dry as well.

Strong winds are never nice, especially on a 250.

Wind on a 250 sucks - now I am on a bigger heavier bike I don't mind as much, but would rather be riding into the wind or have the wind behind me than blowing me sideways.

Rather wind as it does not make me wet.

But what I REALLY hate is wind, rain AND the dark. In those conditions I can't even keep up with farmer Joe in his ute!

Cant say strong sidewinds are much fun on a 1340cc either.

If I was out and got caught it started to rain/piss down it does not worry me, I have been out in the worst weather posssible, rain drops you feel through your leathers, 5pm and really dark, massive wind coming from the left, so much so that, the group I was with slowed to about 50 kph and moved to the left (outside) lane away from the WRB's. All this on the southern motorway. The mix of both is a bastard.
