Wind and Rain ....... no problem - Snow and Ice - I'd say a problem

Time to edit the poll Yum

 

I was gonna add one more in the poll when I was making it.

"Neither, I am a pro"

 

Rain. Both are easily tolerable on the bike, but people drive like fracking morons in the rain.

 

When its raining I expect rain.

When I'm riding I can't see the wind coming.

I was racing mx about this time last year, super windy day. At the top of the hill was a single jump that gets your tires maybe 5-6 feet off the ground, but the whole time you are in the air on this particular jump the ground is dropping out from under you.

Regardless, the wind pushed me from the left. My wheels were swept out from under me somewhat. I put my left foot down do I didn't crash. Well my foot took the force of me plus the bike falling. My heel hurt like a bitch, knee swelled up like a tuna, I wasn't in good shape. So yeah, eff wind

 

I agree with most everyone. Rain is managable. Gusts of wind that just hit you all of a sudden is the worst. I have to use the interstate alot and get hit with them almost twice a week. At highway speeds big or small they suck.

 

I would take the wind over the rain anyday. Im from southwest Kansas so anyday we rode at all the wind was blowing, and rain is just something unheard of out there. When it rains you get soaked, cold, you cant see, it stings, it makes the road slick, people dont see you. Id deal with the wind and just go with the flow.

 

anyone ever had the constant side gust of wind that make you lean like your in a curve but your still going straight down the highway, lol.

now, thats a creepy feeling. but i'd still take it over rain anyday.

 

Eff the rain, the first ride I ever took on my F4I was in 45 mph gusts and about 15 mph constant wind. Ever since then my bike doesn't really move when it's windy, idk if I react to it subconsciously since it's what I learned in but idk what it's like to have the bike get blown all over anymore. The rain just makes me wet and cold and I can't see and people can't see me and anything painted or metallic becomes death.

 

rofl, so true.

 

Haven't been caught in the rain yet. But down here in NE Florida there is a ton of smoke from around 8 different fires burning and spreading. The air quality has been rated as hazardous in Jacksonville. I was on the expressway going over the St. Johns and it is a good 3 miles miles across and Buckman Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia the wind was blowing so damn hard with no trees blocking it, I bet everyone though I was drunk lol. That coupled with terrible visibility from the smoke made it a very interesting ride. So +1 for the wind, but i bet the rain SUCKS!!!
