Default Windy condition

What is the windiest condition you ever rode in? 20 mph, maybe a gust of 30 mph not too windy for you?

37kt gusts in a storm when i was coming home from work. It sucked but if you count the wind that hits you while your riding then ive ridin in hurricane force winds.

not sure how fast the wind was, but it was enough to force me to lean into the wind a little to stay straight, then the gust stops and im almost in another lane byt he time i straighten back up.

It's been like that in Vegas lately too. I'd say 30-40mph gusts are about where I decide to drive my car. Maybe less if I have a lot of stuff in my backpack so that the wind hits it real good and pushes more.

Not sure the strongest wind speed as I don't really pay attention to that. However, I have noticed that wind isn't as bad on the CBR as it is on my Pacific Coast

20mph sustained, 40+mph gusts. Not so much fun.

Here too. It sucks because it is a nice sunny day and wind is so strong. I just hope the gust won't come when I am at stop

25 mph, with 45 mph gusts.

Not fun- pretty sketchy especially on the highway. Take backroads if possible when there are winds above 30 mph.
