HID lighting.. its made a mahooosivvvvv difference to night riding for me... no more 'is that a corner up there' ... now its 'yup thats a corner up there'... yes the light is whiter and brighter, but its the throw of the light that really makes it .. cats eyes and other reflective stuff just gets lit a lot further ahead of you... the second best thing i done to my bike.. btw, i got the 5000k and its 'white' light no blue tint...

Buy it a few tanks of fuel, so you can ride it down sarf and I can 'learn' you!

Learn you to behave!!

As for going up norf ... it is all a bit weird above the M25 .. so ... I'll stick down here thanks ...

Besides this was summin for Zuky ... a trip down to the more civilised part of the country is treat enough .. . .

Which no doubt means you're blinding every oncoming driver as you go. I detest the things because 99% of them are so badly fitted that it makes me want to smash them out with a lump hammer. In 30 years of riding like a **** I've never missed a corner because of my headlight beam being rubbish, even with my appalling eyesight. I just learned to ride within the limits of my eyes and my bike.

Bloody HID lighting is a chavvy boyracer fad that annoys the hell out of me.

your opinion is well noted .. rofl

but i can assure you that my beam pattern is pointing in the right place if not slightly low.. i hate blinding other drivers for the simple fact that it's dangerous.

i'v never missed a corner either, but its nice to have some decent light, it makes riding at night so much more enjoyable.. since fitting the lighting i have never once been flashed by another driver because my lights are blinding them...

as for being a chavvy boy racer, i think i'm a bit long in the tooth..

i do agree that badly set up HID lighting is terrible and it annoys the crap out of me as well, specially if its that fuk!n blue crap that everyone goes for..

i was merely suggesting to woozle that hid lighting may be an option.
