ScubaCinci Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Left work a little early because I saw a big storm was approaching. Of course 75N was frickin' parking lot out of downtown. I sat in it a bit, in full gear, sweating my ass off. I finally said fuck it and rode the shoulder between Ezzard Charles and Hopple street. A few people beeped at me but fuck 'em I was HOT and i knew the storm was coming.By the time I reached North Bend Rd on I74 the wind was so bad I could barely maintain my lane and debris was blowing everywhere. I WISH I had my GoPro going at the time. It looked very dicey and probably would have made for some interesting video. I made it home about 10 mins before the lightening and deluge. Phew!It's hitting a good portion of OH so watch out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crb Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Glad your safe! We need the rain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Did I mention how much I hate riding in the rain So far no hail here but they are expecting some areas to get a good amount of hail. That would really suck on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Good call and I'm glad you made it home just in the nick of time - F the cagers.I see some dark clouds rolling into my area and the radar is showing it covering all of the state with the nasty cells just south of me.And I sure hope we don't get any hail since all three of my trucks are parked outside including my new F-150.

RVTPilot Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've been eyeballing the weather in anticiaption of PIRC tomorrow, and saw the huge storm rolling through our state. Glad you made it home unscathed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Where i live supposedly got the worst of it and i was stuck at work on the bike. I was wondering if it would be on its side when i went out to it, luckly it didnt fall cause i just had it painted like 2 months ago.

ZachG91 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 The wind was horrible... I had the bright idea of getting a quick ride in before the storm hit (storm was about 20 miles to the north at the time) but apparently i got caught in the "gust front" part of the storm about 2 minutes into the ride. Definitely learned a lesson and about got knocked on my ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaposer Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 The winds caught up to me just as I was getting on 74 from 75. Thankfully I was in my work van, but it was still an interesting drive. Got off at harrison ave, and there was a state trooper giving a harley rider a field sobriety test on the side of the road. I hope it wasn't failure to maintain a straight line that was his reasoning...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I looked at a car this morning, that got hit by gravel in the wind storm.Three broken windows. Front and both right side.Now that would hurt on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
