Highside/Lowside: Foul-weather riding mistakes, and how to avoid them

Dec 23, 2020

Ride motorcycles long enough, and you'll find yourself in foul weather, no matter how carefully you plan.

Maybe your gear let you down. Maybe you let yourself down by forgetting to bring the right gear. Weather can change in an instant, temperatures can swing wildly, and motorcycles, for all their virtues, can only do so much to shelter you from the elements.

For every discipline of riding, you'll surely find a slew of foul-weather disasters, and if you've ever been caught unprepared or meteorologically overwhelmed, you should wear that badge with honor. Oh, and you should also tell your friends about it to spare them in the future!

That's exactly why Spurgeon and Zack discuss bad weather and worse decisions in this episode of Highside/Lowside, conveniently released in the winter season where some of the worst riding decisions (and the best stories) are made. These two hosts have plenty of cautionary tales to tell, along with some valuable recommendations that only hindsight can provide. So settle in with Highside/Lowside's latest, where we can all freely admit to our own misadventures and boneheaded moves. What mistakes are you willing to admit?
