Was fucking dangerous today. Made the stupid mistake of going to work on the RXS and nearly got blown off the road and into the path of oncoming traffic several times.

Sometimes a big heavy old lump is reassuring.

i was being blown all over place on the motorway, slowed it down to 50 and made no difference, may aswel have been doing 70

felt like i was taking off lol

I rode home up the M11, but thankfully, the American secret service, all their poxy armoured limos and the bloody huge police escort kept me and all my commuting friends at a nice steady 60mph behind them so we didn't get blown about too much.

Today I decided to go on an epic cycle ride. It was a bad decision due to this bastard wind.

The wind makes hills where hills do not occur.

My CG125 has blown over before with cover on - on subject and out of interest, what's the weight of the heaviest bike here that's been blown over?

Yesterday was insane blown all over the road and almost into a ditch on a roundabout that just seemed to have the wind coming from everyside!!!

Made it home but gave it a miss today just didnt need the stress!!!

had my CB250 nearly blown over but that was on a cliff face.

But the CBR seems even on a long arse bridge over open water to stay straight and true even with all its plastic.


on the note of covers mine gets blown off before it does any damage.

I hate riding in the wind...the best way for me to cope (being so lightweight) is to have ballast attached to the bike...but I'd still rather avoid it at all costs.

Saw a victim today, although it is a one of those Gillera scooter/bike things:

Daft really, if it was parked the other way around with the side side towards the kerb it might not have happened! Would have picked it up but what if the wind blew it over again? Twice the damage, so decided to leave it.
