In windy conditions, riding a motorcycle is more dangerous when it blows...

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Motorcycles are two-wheeled vehicles very sensitive to external forces, especially the wind. Riding becomes much more dangerous when the wind blows from the side and in irregular gusts. These sudden gusts can destabilize the motorcycle and cause a sudden lateral displacement. This poses a serious risk of invading the opposite lane or running off the road. To counteract this effect, the rider must hold the handlebars firmly and lean the motorcycle slightly towards the side from which the wind is blowing.
