I got 9 out of 10. I disagree with this one. I picked the third choice.

Where do you want to keep your motorcycle positioned when riding in strong crosswinds?

​

• On the opposite side of the lane that the wind is coming from
• On the same side of the lane that the wind is coming from
• In the middle of the lane, no matter where the wind is coming from
• It doesn’t matter
  ​

Their answer is the second choice, which does make sense until...... Every crosswind I've ever ridden in is gusty, i.e., not steady. Whenever it lets up for a moment you tend to move into the direction the wind is coming from, especially if you are fighting hard to stay straight. If the wind is coming from the right they recommend you ride near the right. But if the wind lets up for a moment you have a tendency to make a sudden slight right turn. If you're close to the right side of the lane when that happens you don't have much room for wandering and could go off the edge. I think the safest place is near the middle of the lane. Then you have margin on both sides for sudden unplanned swerves caused by gusts.

CaptJAM, what do you say? You're a motorcycle safety instructor.

Wind

The school solution is to keep steady handlebar pressure into the wind, while positioning yourself in the third of the lane into the wind: wind blows left to right, be in the left third of the lane to keep from leaving your lane. The issue is the wind, not the calm. If the wind stops, it is not as abrupt as the wind force.

I agree. It doesn't make sense to not leave room to maneuver on both sides.

 

[Bob Denman]

Perhaps a different answer is correct for three wheels; than for two... :dontknow:

 

[Pirate looks at --]

Here ya go!

10 for 10! Where is my Cupie Doll!?

 

[Yazz]

I got 9 out of ten.

I was taught in the MST school to never use your front brake in the rain. I rode my two wheelie that way and never had a problem.

Their answer is use less front brake.

Thank you SO MUCH! I feel better now!
