mike1949 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Rode on the M4 yesterday in extreme wind conditions 2 up. Kuuuriste was that scary, anybody with similar experiences ? Also have had extreme rain on the M5 where I couldn't see ten feet in front of me, had to stop under a motorway bridge, always wondered if a cop stopped would he have done me?

I stopped under a motorway bridge during a snow storm it was safer than riding. But if a cop got snotty I could claim the engine cut out with the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Been there, done that. I never stopped, though - Just adjusted my riding to allow for the conditions. If a cop did get snotty, just argue that you didn't feel safe to continue so you were waiting for conditions to improve. Just be sure you'd stopped somewhere safe.

HalHark Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Worst iv been in was on the A66 from Penrith to Scotch Corner over the top of the lakes... Absolute shit storm! Hahaha was having to lean like i was taking a corner to stay in a straight line... Horizontal Rain with the passing lorries giving me the added hose pipe treatment! Wouldn't of been so bad if i had some decent waterproofs on and on something a bit more suitable than an R6... All good fun though eh..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
