Na experience nyo na ba na habang magmomotor kayo tapos may dumaan na cage sa tabi natin tapos super bilis na halos tumilapon tayo or nanginginig yung MC natin sa lakas ng hangin (vortex). I experience it while riding at roxas blvd. Grabe sobra nakakatakot. :S

Baka ito rin ang isa sa mga reasons kaya hindi payagan ang mga mc na less than 400cc sa mga expressways? Btw, my MC is honda wave alpha 100cc.

Is vortex the same as crosswind? Whats the difference between the two? :crazy:

diba ang vortex .. .something na moving in a "circular" motion and tends to form a vacuum in the center...something like that...

...crosswind i guess is the proper term (a wind blowing in a direction not parallel to a course)

sabi ko na nga ba eh!!! Thanks, Prez!!!

lalo na kung provincial bus ang makakasalubong mo, at parehong 100 ang takbo nyo...

i think yung cross winds un yung pag nagmomotor ka sa open road then yung hangin perpendicular syo.

from other vehicles, i think its called slipstream. :D

lalo na akong naguluhan!!!! ano ba talaga??? :{

You don't need a cage to pass you to experience that StAnger. Strong winds coming from the sea and ones caused by typhoons are more likely to push you aside pero sandali lang and kung walang sasakyan sa side na pinanggalingan ng hangin. Always be prepared for this kasi pag hindi malamang semplang ka. I've ridden Roxas Blvd during heavy rains, gabi pa nga eh and lagi ko nae-experience ito kasi nga open space un dagat at siguradong malakas ang hangin.

FYI this was not the point raised by those who are for the banning of sub-400s.

Tukayo, you're definitely right about that, also strong winds din pala. Minsan galing sa side yung wind na muntik na akong sumalpok sa katabing cage at minsan naman sa yung wind galing sa likod na parang tinutulak ka. Pero ok lang sana yun in a way kasi mother nature, not unlike yung mga cage na humaharurot at dadaan sa tabi mo na parang binabalewala ka porket naka motor tayo.

Anyways, my bad about sa banning sa expressways. I thought lang talaga baka isa rin yun sa reasons, kasi yung mga nakakausap ko na may big bikes ayaw nila dumaan sa expressways kasi nga dahil sa mga cage na humaharurot.

Im not in favor of the banning. And we should be treated the same as the people riding cages.

Ride safe! :punk:

I have spent many hours on freeways around the world and never had a real problem with wind wash from other vehicles. The worst I ever experienced was riding a ZX6R in Makati on a small road in heavy traffic. Speed means stability for a bike and I was moving slowy in the heavy traffic when a gust of wind came down a side turning. With very little room to manauver and the instability of low speed it was far more dangerous than any vehicle passing me on the freeway.

It does whip alot but not that dangerous.
Cruising at 110+kph along Ilocos stretches, this approaching bus's wind slams into my helmet face and onto my skut, felt that whip of wind but its tolerable. The whip is temporary that you won't be pushed that far.

What's scary is the storm's winds, its continouse and you'll feel you are cruising at an inclined position, when the wind chages its position, that's again scary.:D
