I feel like this very innocent thread has taken a nasty turn somewhere along the way![]()

Kinky is using a feather. Perverted is using the whole chicken
A none question, Wgtn only has two seasons the wet windy season and the not so wet windy season.
After riding today in wind and rain I have a new answer, if the ride is less than an hour, I'd prefer wind, longer, I'd prefer rain.
Reasons, the wind side on was making my neck a bit sore by the end. Plus if it's a short ride, no need to worry about wet gear, if it's a long ride, you get used to the water, it's not cold with the right gear and it doesn't strain my neck at all.
I must say, after riding in windy(and wet) Auckland yesterday I'd still choose the rain, but the wind does improve your responsiveness and agility. On a clear day it can be quite fun (for a short while at least), but combined with rain it will eventually have you cursing under your helmet (as I was)..
lol, true that but there is some sense in this..
Basically the wind is an obstacle/curve ball.. when you're met with an unexpected gust you need to react quickly (throttle action, body position, etc) to maintain your position on the road. Reacting to these gusts is like dodging bullets, so to speak.
So the time you take to respond and the actions you take are skill sets that require practice, and with time you get better at it.
That's the best I can do..
