Believe me...........being an avid biker means headlights on, dayglo waistcoat, l.e.ds, the works. And people STILL say "sorry mate, I didn't see you!!!!"

Like the idea of DRLs, but won't do it until someone finds an acceptable looking solution to where to mount them. Incidentally, RING do a flexible row of 1 watt l.e.ds that look pretty good in packets of two strips. now, where to put them???????

I too am an avid biker, and still ride with my headlights on despite being tugged a few years ago whilst on a run with a crowd of mates. On asking the Feds at the time why they singled me out, they replied by saying that I was the easiest one to spot and follow coming towards them, as I had my lights on !!

Cant win them all !!   ::)

Work this one out...............................
I did the "help for heroes2 run, and out of THOUSANDS of bikers there, MAYBE 30 of them had their dayglo jackets on, a few had their headlights on, and LOADS of them had NO helmet on.
On the way home, guess who got pulled????????????
(slightly small number plate.............warned)

Must have needed something to do!!!

 Easier to do the paperwork for a small number plate than a missing helmet
