@motojitsu I’m a new rider (1 year), but I love learning and I think I bring experience from other fields that I can apply to motorbiking. And also I think ur vids are great. But I think you should dedicate more videos to the topic of wind, I think it is a real danger. My advice I discovered that I think is very useful for riding in the wind is the following: When it is windy, raise your elbows so they are out wide to effectively “widen” your position on the motorbike. Imagine being in a skinny canoe, or a skull for those that have tried rowing. The boat is not very buoyant from side to side. Now imagine a much wider canoe, think of the difference this makes or even a a small tinny. Or even the difference it makes to feather your oars and have them resting out to the sides to maximise your width, it really helps your balance (even on top of the fact you can push down on the water with the oar to counterbalance). Also think of scooters and say dirt jump bikes, the high performance scooters and push bikes designed especially for tricks and jumping have handle bars that are especially wide, which give better control, especially through the air. Similarly I find raising my elbows to almost horizontal to widen my position gives me a lot more buoyancy, and makes me far less susceptible to the force on my bike from the wind. I really find this helpful. Please ppl try and let me know what you think. @motojitsu, I would love for you to let me know what you think, and also do a more detailed video about riding in the wind!!! Pretty please!! Anyway keep up the great videos!!

If there’s a strong crosswind, sometimes I’ll stick my windward knee out. The little bit of drag on the windward side seems to help stabilize the bike and keep it from moving around quite as much.

I've tried that, several times.. it's like using your leg as a sail (like a sail boat) I'm still unsure if it works 🤔 maybe my legs are too skinny 🤷🏻‍♂️ also, I am rather short and I don't wear baggy clothing especially whilst riding. One thing about it though, mentally it does feel kind of cool.. like Ha! Take that! Bustin' out the sail move 🖕🏻 you🌪️ wind

Seriously, the wind was probably the scariest thing I felt my first few times riding out on the express ways and highways. I did exactly that, squeezed the hell out of my tank and felt at one with the bike. Using my upper body to dance with the airflow. As always, perfect advice.

Just had my first windy ride, with a harsh gusty wind from the left. First reaction is to tense up everything and boy, that does not work at all! Stopped for this tip video and relaxed, clamped my knees to the bike and voila! Much better! Thanks a bunch!

I’ve been riding for a month or two now, beginner bike 300cc super fun around town; but once a nice strong cold wind from a field almost blew me off the road I’ve been really a little more picky on what days are “good riding days” or not.. sometimes, it’s just not a good day to ride 😂

Yes you will! I experienced it for the first time in rainy conditions and wasnt the most pleasant. I also think curling up/leaning forward more to reduce wind drag and reduce surface area helps. The more you do it the more experienced ull be

I also find that slowing down a bit gives you more time to react to a big shift, as well as riding in a lower gear (raising the RPM) has the bike pulling and the gusts don’t seems to have as much effect.

I live in the Southern California desert and come home from work in the peak windy times in the evening. I often experience wind speeds of 30-35 miles an hour - I take my car if the forecast is greater than 35 mph - and it can be a daunting task to return home after a grueling 10 hour shift then having to ride home in ridiculous wind. It can be done though.... tuck, tuck, tuck.... stay cool and let your body guide the bike (legs tight on the tank, yes) and keep your eye far ahead to where you want to go. Always remember, all-out FEAR is bad... it can paralyze you, cause you to panic and kill you.... healthy respect for the conditions and laws of physics will get you through. Just be zen and keep your eye where you want to go and you will be totally fine. I wanted to share this because it might help other riders. High winds always freaked me out and I had to learn to deal with them if I was going to keep riding. Just relax and always keep your wits about you and you will be fine. Rubber down, always. 👍

Great advice, happened to me on my way to Monument Valley from Capitol Reef National Park. 35-45mph cross wind gusts. Freaked me out the first hour of the ride, had to pull over and reset my mind, get into a zen place and relax. Made it safe but as you said, I slowed down to 55mph instead of 75 and it was easier to control the bike.

Great advice. I have a lot of problems in crosswinds, with heavy traffic, and spotty windbreaks (walls, trees. etc.) Seems like just when I get leaned in to the wind, something happens to change that and I get blown in the opposite direction. Glad to now that I'm not the only person experiencing this.

Good stuff! I have a lighter sport bike and I once thought that sport bikes were immune to being blown around - I didn't figure fairings made it worse when the wind blows from side to side. So I guess I was correct in keeping my upper body loose. I also tend to crouch down when it starts blowing hard. I just feel more comfortable controlling the bike in that posture especially.

Ridden everything from Honda 90 to Suzuki GS850G, and they all get blown by wind. With or without fairings but a fairing will certainly grab a bit more wind. It's fine on a dry day as you can play with the wind as it pushes you but in the wet just slow down. (Just like cornering slower when ut rains.) Just keep an eye open for where it's coming from and be ready for it. Check which way the trees are blowing and obviously if the buses and trucks are fishtailing, that's bad but at least you know where the wind is coming from! Remember if you are passing a large vehicle with a side wind to expect a big wind blast as you come out that vehicle's protective area. Sometimes you have to physically 'dive into the wind ' as if cornering as you emerge or you'll be pushed clean across the lane/s. I've seen times where I'm leaning right in against the wind while deep into a left hand bend, think about it! Just keep your eyes open, constantly check ahead and be careful out there.

I had to be at instructor school with the bike. In the morning, wind wasn't too bad; about force 5 or 6. Over the morning, the wind picked up to about 8. In the afternoon, when we had to practice teaching, we could barely hear each other and papers were flying everywhere. By the time we had to go home, winds had picked up to about 10 and i had to face it head-on, most of the way. My head got trashed around, as i was riding a standard, but i could hold my course, because i was riding more or less straight into the wind. Then came the part where i had the wind from the side. I had to lean into the wind, to remain in a more or less straight line. Gusts of wind tried to knock me off course, so i positioned myself to the far left of my lane. Some of the gusts pushed me from the center of the road, almost into the soft shoulder. A couple time i thought i wasn't gonna make it, but then the wind let up a bit. Never would be to soon to experience that again.

If it’s a constant wind then I agree with correcting lean angle for it (I mean how else would you go straight). But in gusty/turbulent wind, I do the same thing as in an airplane: don’t fight it, just accept that you’ll be pushed around a little, and gradually re-center in the lane if you’re pushed away. Sudden movements and chasing unpredictable air can land you in a worse situation and make you lose focus on your surroundings.

Four bikes over 16 and the wind still makes me nervous smh, that sway when you leaning into a turn always gets me 😬

Where I get the most nervous is when heavy rain and wind are combined. Here in Illinois, this can come and go very quickly, but I’ve gotten under an overpass as quickly as I can more times than I care to remember.

When windy: - be one with motorcycle like centauri by squeezig your knees to the tank - don't squeeze your arms; I did this the first few times and it was a bad idea; went back with my tail between the legs...... - squeeze your abs a little bit and lean also a little bit toward, but don't lock your self At my surprise, the motorcycle is keeping straight. It is the upper body which make you "out of balance".

When passing truck's I lean into the wind wash at the nose, like a surfer dives througt the wave. You pass right through it with hardly any turbulence. I almost got blown off corridor H heading east just after cresting the ridge just before Mt Storm doing 70mph . Felt like I got whacked from the left side. Made my sphincter pucker for a couple miles afterwards.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that is a new rider and just experienced riding in the wind for the first time it was scary I’m not going to lie but now I know what to do next time thank you for the video

I just passed MSF today and went out for my first ride. its a 40 minute ride most of it on a straight rode where people generally go 60-65mph in a 55 zone. so it was my first time going that fast and the cross wind was crazy. Im 185lbs on a cbr300r and the wind was tossing me around like i was its bitch. Nobody ever told me about wind. I was pretty sure i was about to die on my first day out. at one point it almost tossed me into the other lane and i swear i felt my back tire wobble. i just stayed tucked and kept her at 62mph. it was terrifying lmao.

Funny, I do almost do the exact opposite. I live in the Netherlands and it can be very windy here, especially close to the shore. This weekend I rode 500km (310miles) in quite a hard and gusty wind and I kept my whole body loose and relaxed. No excessive squeezing of the legs, upper body very loose and when crossing a bridge I sometimes stick my windward knee out (like others have said) to counter the really gusty wind. Hard wind from the left, bike wants to be pushed to the right. Stick windward knee out which gives resistance and causes the bike to go left into the wind again. Didn't do this much, mostly just sat like a bag of potatoes on the bike, that thing will go straight forward anyways. Just let the bodyparts flop around. Holding tight to the bike wil translate every windgust directly into the bike going somewhere you don't want it to go.

Kinda crazy that tpu made this video because I've never had an issue with wind until yesterday. It was crazy windy and it blew me around a bit which caught me off guard. I thought something was wrong with my bike for a bit because it was weird how it felt like it was floating to the side. I naturally compensated by riding more in the middle of the lane so I'm glad my instincts were putting me on the right path.

Hey Greg, have you seen Tularosa Moto's video on how to ride a motorcycle in the wind? He talks about NOT hugging the bike tight, but being very loose with your legs. Would love your input if you've got time to watch it

Maybe its just spacific to my bike or maybe something im doing. But I have found that my KLR naturally corrects itself in the wind. It will lean against a crosswind perfectly without me consciously putting input as long as Im relaxed. I find myself riding in wind so often I never really thought about it.

Squeezing the tank allows the upper body to be relaxed, with no weight on the handle bars... One of the things I learned recently and that I am practicing every time I ride...

Jean the engine reciprocating faster will help keep the bike upright, agreed it might only be marginal, also running in a lower gear you are sending power to the rear wheel driving the bike forward against the side force of the wind. It all helps so give it a try.

@fabianmckenna8197

I suppose if you're in a lower gear then the bike will respond quicker to any throttle input pushing hard through the wind rather than coasting along in a high gear. Just think how it feels if you hit a false neutral where the bike has no power. It's terrible!

I was hit with a cross wind coming from the right and I was so nervous the bike felt unstable. I guess leaning towards the wind direction help also sticking your knee in the direction of the wind help reduce the drag

I ended up on the outside of the curve because I misjudged the entry. The a big gust pushed me even farther out, to what felt like a foot from the Charlie bars. Yikes!

Thank you

Thanks I regularly ride in the foothills of Rockies⛰, the winds (Chinook) are 60-80 kms or more regularly. Bike is pitched at an angle against the GD wind 😢😡🤪 to stay in straight line.

Emergency stop in a corner ......... the bike sits up and tries to throw you off the bend!
