Have you taken your bike over any sweet jumps?
Cap, Shirt, Bata Bullets...Go
Heres a good chance to test the handling of your bike. Just try and dodge the hailstones as you're riding!!!Originally Posted by Mattyc

Not looking forward to the ride home that's for sure. But that's what you get when you ride every day!!
El tardo tardo....
It was allright at first but i got the occassional blast coming into the bottom of the valleys where all the wind was being channeled that scared the shit outta me, ive been blown about before but this was pretty bad

was hailing this morning about 8.30ish...heard it pelting on the windows and woke up, lol. first thought "wish id covered the bike!" went outside and the area around the bike was wet, but the bike itself was dry. weird! [she gets parked under a carport]
as for wind...its been windy here for the past few days...interesting coming down and going up the hill where i live. but im used to it now. ride to and from work across the cobham bridge, where the wind whips in from ocean or off the river [speed limit 80k] rather interesting, but a challenge and good practise. i enjoy it, makes things different!

Grumpy bugger, aren't you??? What a night, tho eh? Mine consisted of a lot of being out in the pissing rain and strong winds perfecting my techniques for breaking into houses and climbing in through high windows to pick up nana's who had fallen on the floor and couldn't get up. Why do they all leave keys out for you, then barricade all the doors so you can't get in?

Immature and proud of it.
T'was strange on the bridge last night, I swung around the right hander onto the bridge proper and nearly all wind pressure and noise stopped. It must have been blowing from dead behind, like riding in a vacuum.
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

A bloody racist joke?? Anybody can think of that Mr Redneck.
You'll need to work harder to earn some red rep........

I wasn't advising anyone. The wind was hard enough to make me feel at risk. The warning signs on the Motorway were lit up saying: WARNING HIGH WINDS DRIVE WITH CAUTION.
Just giving others a heads-up.
We can discuss your disapproval of me when we meet next in person.
Just faidin away!
Hey riffraff, did you leave your bike out in the rain? (avatar)
For whom the bell tolls
yay im a fool hardy fucktard!
i rode across it twice that day. Also went out last night when the weather was at its worth...
Doesnt quite beat the freak thunderstorms from a month or two ago... i was doing 110 along the northern *river* motorway... i think i got something like 15mm of rain in a matter of minutes... VERY VERY WET

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
gee wizzz
I dropped the SV off to Kerry at Motohause for tyres yesterday.
mental not to self -Unloaded toyota hiace highroof in a big wind on harbour bridge--very um "interesting" to drive

Agreed. I think those high, slab sided, light Jappa vans are worse than a bike in cross winds. I've known a HiAce bodily shoved sideways by the wind on a wet road. Not just swerving, physically pushed directly sideways .
Cross winds are something that always frightens early riders (does anyone like the term "early rider" - it seems less derogatory than "newbie" , or "n00b" and such like ) but IMHO they feel more scarey than they really are. Only people I've ever heard of coming off cos of wind have actually jammed their brakes on when they got a fright and locked up a wheel. Relaxed arms , ride with the wind, and let it weave about a bit.
