Eyeball - Limehouse

[T0mm0]

Hi,

Followed a black curvy this evening heading towards the Limehouse and then into Blackwall Tunnel. When we exchanged places along the A2 and I realised your had no headlights. I slow down to let you know, but I couldn't get your attention. I know from riding in front your bike was difficult to see (black bike, no headlights), thats why I tried to take the lead. Hope you made it home ok.

Cheers

bet he got home ranting about a SV that slowed down for no reason in front of him :lol: :lol: :lol:

while its recommended to use your lights, some people do choose not to. you just have to respect that, and if youre not going to have a chance to mention it at a set of lights, you shouldnt be worrying about trying to get his attention. just ride your own ride and let him make his choice.

I understand your points Lynw, but if you can imagine it was about 6pm dark he/she was riding a black bike with no lights. I had trouble distinguishing the bike to the cars in my mirrors and I knew they were there :shock: . I got the impression they were unaware of this situation and if it was me I'd appreciate someone telling me.

Anyway happy riding :D
