RE: Can’t wait...darn weather!

Here's a question for our amateur (or otherwise) meteorologists here. If you ride faster than the wind speed, is the windchill on your bike based on the speed at which you are riding or the sum of the actual wind speed and your riding wind speed? OR is there a separate calculation that needs to take place? Does the bike windchill change if you are riding into a headwind versus a cross or tail wind?

@Ferret - I'm the same regarding using windchill or rather not using it. There are motorcycle windchill charts out there and I'm sure there have been multiple postings here of those over the years, but most of them start at an outside temp of +15f and go up from there. I suppose the chart makers assume that anyone riding at below +15 is too stupid to read the chart. LOL
