Out here I've been told it is not windy until 'quarter rock!' That is to say when rocks the size of quarters are in the air THEN the wind is blowing. I've seen hanger roll up doors rated at 100MPH winds blown in and swinging loose from the rails. When guys on two wheels are leaned over at 30 degrees to the horizontal and all the 18 wheelers are pulled into the areas under the bridges and refusing to travel it is a bit windy to ride a motorcycle.remus wrote:I rode my bike to a gathering this morning. It is somewhat breezy here for the last couple of days, 15 to 25 mph winds just blowing from the north. Silly woman comes over and says, "Kind of windy to be riding today isn't it"? I just looked at here like she was stupid, she probably is, and said "Lady, it's always windy on a motorcycle if you are riding." She got kind of a blank look on her face, I just walked away, didn't know what else to do.
25-35MPH is a PITA for riding the ME powered mountain bike.
Especially uphill against the wind like last Saturday, at 44 degrees it was becoming unpleasant.
