I prefer the flatulence of my bike pipes.

Lay off the fiber supplements for a day or two before you ride.

My choice to vent doesn't seem to matter as long as I am in a standard position. Personally, I push against the driver seat back and lift my pelvis up, allowing the trapped bubble off last night's squander to escape.

Is it normal to have difficulty farting when on the bike? What is your approach to releasing the demons from below?
The Indian Larry approach works for me.

Maybe there is a book in there somewhere after you gather all the input. A working title of the book might be "How to Fart on a Motorcycle".
